What is x when 87 divided by x equals 95?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 87 ÷ 95 = 0.91578947368421

To prove this, let's compute 87 divided by 0.91578947368421: $\frac{87}{0.91578947368421} = 95$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 87 divided by x gives a result of 95, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{87}{x} = 95$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{87 x}{x} = 95 x$
$\frac{87 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 87$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 87$ (or just $87$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $87 = 95 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 95: $\frac{87}{95} = \frac{95 x}{95}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.91578947368421 = x$ (or $x = 0.91578947368421$ )

So, if the dividend is 87 and the quotient is 95, the divisor is 0.91578947368421.
