What is x when 77 divided by x equals 93?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 77 and the quotient 93?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 77 ÷ 93 = 0.82795698924731

To prove this, let's compute 77 divided by 0.82795698924731: 77 0.82795698924731 = 93

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 77 divided by x gives a result of 93, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

77 x = 93

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 77 x x = 93 x
  2. 77 x x is equivalent to x x × 77 , which simplifies to 1 × 77 (or just 77 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 77 = 93 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 93: 77 93 = 93 x 93
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.82795698924731 = x (or x = 0.82795698924731 )

So, if the dividend is 77 and the quotient is 93, the divisor is 0.82795698924731.
