What is x when 88 divided by x equals 92?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 88 and the quotient 92?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 88 ÷ 92 = 0.95652173913043

To prove this, let's compute 88 divided by 0.95652173913043: 88 0.95652173913043 = 92

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 88 divided by x gives a result of 92, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

88 x = 92

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 88 x x = 92 x
  2. 88 x x is equivalent to x x × 88 , which simplifies to 1 × 88 (or just 88 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 88 = 92 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 92: 88 92 = 92 x 92
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.95652173913043 = x (or x = 0.95652173913043 )

So, if the dividend is 88 and the quotient is 92, the divisor is 0.95652173913043.
