What is x when 27 divided by x equals 95?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 27 and the quotient 95?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 27 ÷ 95 = 0.28421052631579

To prove this, let's compute 27 divided by 0.28421052631579: 27 0.28421052631579 = 95

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 27 divided by x gives a result of 95, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

27 x = 95

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 27 x x = 95 x
  2. 27 x x is equivalent to x x × 27 , which simplifies to 1 × 27 (or just 27 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 27 = 95 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 95: 27 95 = 95 x 95
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.28421052631579 = x (or x = 0.28421052631579 )

So, if the dividend is 27 and the quotient is 95, the divisor is 0.28421052631579.
