What is x when 38 divided by x equals 94?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 38 and the quotient 94?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 38 ÷ 94 = 0.40425531914894

To prove this, let's compute 38 divided by 0.40425531914894: 38 0.40425531914894 = 94

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 38 divided by x gives a result of 94, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

38 x = 94

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 38 x x = 94 x
  2. 38 x x is equivalent to x x × 38 , which simplifies to 1 × 38 (or just 38 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 38 = 94 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 94: 38 94 = 94 x 94
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.40425531914894 = x (or x = 0.40425531914894 )

So, if the dividend is 38 and the quotient is 94, the divisor is 0.40425531914894.
