What is x when 91 divided by x equals 20?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 91 and the quotient 20?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 91 ÷ 20 = 4.55

To prove this, let's compute 91 divided by 4.55: 91 4.55 = 20

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 91 divided by x gives a result of 20, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

91 x = 20

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 91 x x = 20 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 = 20 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 20: 91 20 = 20 x 20
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.55 = x (or x = 4.55 )

So, if the dividend is 91 and the quotient is 20, the divisor is 4.55.
