What is x when 26 divided by x equals 95?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 26 and the quotient 95?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 26 ÷ 95 = 0.27368421052632

To prove this, let's compute 26 divided by 0.27368421052632: 26 0.27368421052632 = 95

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 26 divided by x gives a result of 95, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

26 x = 95

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 26 x x = 95 x
  2. 26 x x is equivalent to x x × 26 , which simplifies to 1 × 26 (or just 26 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 26 = 95 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 95: 26 95 = 95 x 95
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.27368421052632 = x (or x = 0.27368421052632 )

So, if the dividend is 26 and the quotient is 95, the divisor is 0.27368421052632.
