What is x when 55 divided by x equals 94?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 55 and the quotient 94?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 55 ÷ 94 = 0.58510638297872

To prove this, let's compute 55 divided by 0.58510638297872: 55 0.58510638297872 = 94

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 55 divided by x gives a result of 94, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

55 x = 94

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 55 x x = 94 x
  2. 55 x x is equivalent to x x × 55 , which simplifies to 1 × 55 (or just 55 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 55 = 94 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 94: 55 94 = 94 x 94
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.58510638297872 = x (or x = 0.58510638297872 )

So, if the dividend is 55 and the quotient is 94, the divisor is 0.58510638297872.
