What is x when 84 divided by x equals 92?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 84 and the quotient 92?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 84 ÷ 92 = 0.91304347826087

To prove this, let's compute 84 divided by 0.91304347826087: 84 0.91304347826087 = 92

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 84 divided by x gives a result of 92, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

84 x = 92

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 84 x x = 92 x
  2. 84 x x is equivalent to x x × 84 , which simplifies to 1 × 84 (or just 84 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 84 = 92 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 92: 84 92 = 92 x 92
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.91304347826087 = x (or x = 0.91304347826087 )

So, if the dividend is 84 and the quotient is 92, the divisor is 0.91304347826087.
