What is x when 91 divided by x equals 27?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 91 and the quotient 27?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 91 ÷ 27 = 3.3703703703704

To prove this, let's compute 91 divided by 3.3703703703704: 91 3.3703703703704 = 27

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 91 divided by x gives a result of 27, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

91 x = 27

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 91 x x = 27 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 = 27 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 27: 91 27 = 27 x 27
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.3703703703704 = x (or x = 3.3703703703704 )

So, if the dividend is 91 and the quotient is 27, the divisor is 3.3703703703704.
