What is x when 30 divided by x equals 92?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 30 and the quotient 92?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 30 ÷ 92 = 0.32608695652174

To prove this, let's compute 30 divided by 0.32608695652174: 30 0.32608695652174 = 92

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 30 divided by x gives a result of 92, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

30 x = 92

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 30 x x = 92 x
  2. 30 x x is equivalent to x x × 30 , which simplifies to 1 × 30 (or just 30 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 30 = 92 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 92: 30 92 = 92 x 92
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.32608695652174 = x (or x = 0.32608695652174 )

So, if the dividend is 30 and the quotient is 92, the divisor is 0.32608695652174.
