What is x when 83 divided by x equals 95?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 83 and the quotient 95?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 83 ÷ 95 = 0.87368421052632

To prove this, let's compute 83 divided by 0.87368421052632: 83 0.87368421052632 = 95

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 83 divided by x gives a result of 95, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

83 x = 95

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 83 x x = 95 x
  2. 83 x x is equivalent to x x × 83 , which simplifies to 1 × 83 (or just 83 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 83 = 95 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 95: 83 95 = 95 x 95
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.87368421052632 = x (or x = 0.87368421052632 )

So, if the dividend is 83 and the quotient is 95, the divisor is 0.87368421052632.
