What is x when 86 divided by x equals 95?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 86 ÷ 95 = 0.90526315789474

To prove this, let's compute 86 divided by 0.90526315789474: $\frac{86}{0.90526315789474} = 95$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 86 divided by x gives a result of 95, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{86}{x} = 95$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{86 x}{x} = 95 x$
$\frac{86 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 86$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 86$ (or just $86$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $86 = 95 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 95: $\frac{86}{95} = \frac{95 x}{95}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.90526315789474 = x$ (or $x = 0.90526315789474$ )

So, if the dividend is 86 and the quotient is 95, the divisor is 0.90526315789474.
