What is x when 57 divided by x equals 91?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 57 and the quotient 91?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 57 ÷ 91 = 0.62637362637363

To prove this, let's compute 57 divided by 0.62637362637363: 57 0.62637362637363 = 91

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 57 divided by x gives a result of 91, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

57 x = 91

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 57 x x = 91 x
  2. 57 x x is equivalent to x x × 57 , which simplifies to 1 × 57 (or just 57 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 57 = 91 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 91: 57 91 = 91 x 91
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.62637362637363 = x (or x = 0.62637362637363 )

So, if the dividend is 57 and the quotient is 91, the divisor is 0.62637362637363.
