What is x when 85 divided by x equals 91?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 85 ÷ 91 = 0.93406593406593

To prove this, let's compute 85 divided by 0.93406593406593: $\frac{85}{0.93406593406593} = 91$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 85 divided by x gives a result of 91, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{85}{x} = 91$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{85 x}{x} = 91 x$
$\frac{85 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 85$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 85$ (or just $85$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $85 = 91 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 91: $\frac{85}{91} = \frac{91 x}{91}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.93406593406593 = x$ (or $x = 0.93406593406593$ )

So, if the dividend is 85 and the quotient is 91, the divisor is 0.93406593406593.
