What is x when 59 divided by x equals 95?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 59 and the quotient 95?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 59 ÷ 95 = 0.62105263157895

To prove this, let's compute 59 divided by 0.62105263157895: 59 0.62105263157895 = 95

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 59 divided by x gives a result of 95, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

59 x = 95

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 59 x x = 95 x
  2. 59 x x is equivalent to x x × 59 , which simplifies to 1 × 59 (or just 59 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 59 = 95 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 95: 59 95 = 95 x 95
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.62105263157895 = x (or x = 0.62105263157895 )

So, if the dividend is 59 and the quotient is 95, the divisor is 0.62105263157895.
