What is x when 50 divided by x equals 93?
In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 50 and the quotient 93?
To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 50 ÷ 93 = 0.53763440860215
To prove this, let's compute 50 divided by 0.53763440860215:
How does it work?
Asking what the value of x could be when 50 divided by x gives a result of 93, is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- Multiply both sides by x:
 - is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
 - Thus, the equation becomes:
 - To find x, divide both sides by 93:
 - Which gives, after simplification: (or )
 
So, if the dividend is 50 and the quotient is 93, the divisor is 0.53763440860215.
