What is x when 82 divided by x equals 95?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 82 and the quotient 95?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 82 ÷ 95 = 0.86315789473684

To prove this, let's compute 82 divided by 0.86315789473684: 82 0.86315789473684 = 95

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 82 divided by x gives a result of 95, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

82 x = 95

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 82 x x = 95 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 = 95 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 95: 82 95 = 95 x 95
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.86315789473684 = x (or x = 0.86315789473684 )

So, if the dividend is 82 and the quotient is 95, the divisor is 0.86315789473684.
