What is x when 82 divided by x equals 92?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 82 and the quotient 92?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 82 ÷ 92 = 0.89130434782609

To prove this, let's compute 82 divided by 0.89130434782609: 82 0.89130434782609 = 92

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 82 divided by x gives a result of 92, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

82 x = 92

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 82 x x = 92 x
  2. 82 x x is equivalent to x x × 82 , which simplifies to 1 × 82 (or just 82 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 82 = 92 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 92: 82 92 = 92 x 92
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.89130434782609 = x (or x = 0.89130434782609 )

So, if the dividend is 82 and the quotient is 92, the divisor is 0.89130434782609.
