What is x when 91 divided by x equals 12?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 91 and the quotient 12?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 91 ÷ 12 = 7.5833333333333

To prove this, let's compute 91 divided by 7.5833333333333: 91 7.5833333333333 = 12

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 91 divided by x gives a result of 12, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

91 x = 12

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 91 x x = 12 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 = 12 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 12: 91 12 = 12 x 12
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 7.5833333333333 = x (or x = 7.5833333333333 )

So, if the dividend is 91 and the quotient is 12, the divisor is 7.5833333333333.
