What is x when 89 divided by x equals 95?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 89 and the quotient 95?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 89 ÷ 95 = 0.93684210526316

To prove this, let's compute 89 divided by 0.93684210526316: 89 0.93684210526316 = 95

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 89 divided by x gives a result of 95, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

89 x = 95

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 89 x x = 95 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 = 95 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 95: 89 95 = 95 x 95
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.93684210526316 = x (or x = 0.93684210526316 )

So, if the dividend is 89 and the quotient is 95, the divisor is 0.93684210526316.
