What is x when 90 divided by x equals 35?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 90 and the quotient 35?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 90 ÷ 35 = 2.5714285714286

To prove this, let's compute 90 divided by 2.5714285714286: 90 2.5714285714286 = 35

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 90 divided by x gives a result of 35, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

90 x = 35

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 90 x x = 35 x
  2. 90 x x is equivalent to x x × 90 , which simplifies to 1 × 90 (or just 90 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 90 = 35 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 35: 90 35 = 35 x 35
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.5714285714286 = x (or x = 2.5714285714286 )

So, if the dividend is 90 and the quotient is 35, the divisor is 2.5714285714286.
