What is x when 53 divided by x equals 95?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 53 and the quotient 95?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 53 ÷ 95 = 0.55789473684211

To prove this, let's compute 53 divided by 0.55789473684211: 53 0.55789473684211 = 95

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 53 divided by x gives a result of 95, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

53 x = 95

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 53 x x = 95 x
  2. 53 x x is equivalent to x x × 53 , which simplifies to 1 × 53 (or just 53 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 53 = 95 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 95: 53 95 = 95 x 95
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.55789473684211 = x (or x = 0.55789473684211 )

So, if the dividend is 53 and the quotient is 95, the divisor is 0.55789473684211.
