What is x when 89 divided by x equals 93?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 89 and the quotient 93?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 89 ÷ 93 = 0.95698924731183

To prove this, let's compute 89 divided by 0.95698924731183: 89 0.95698924731183 = 93

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 89 divided by x gives a result of 93, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

89 x = 93

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 89 x x = 93 x
  2. 89 x x is equivalent to x x × 89 , which simplifies to 1 × 89 (or just 89 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 89 = 93 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 93: 89 93 = 93 x 93
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.95698924731183 = x (or x = 0.95698924731183 )

So, if the dividend is 89 and the quotient is 93, the divisor is 0.95698924731183.
