What is x when 91 divided by x equals 10?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 91 and the quotient 10?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 91 ÷ 10 = 9.1

To prove this, let's compute 91 divided by 9.1: 91 9.1 = 10

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 91 divided by x gives a result of 10, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

91 x = 10

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 91 x x = 10 x
  2. 91 x x is equivalent to x x × 91 , which simplifies to 1 × 91 (or just 91 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 91 = 10 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 10: 91 10 = 10 x 10
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 9.1 = x (or x = 9.1 )

So, if the dividend is 91 and the quotient is 10, the divisor is 9.1.
