What is x when 91 divided by x equals 35?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 91 and the quotient 35?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 91 ÷ 35 = 2.6

To prove this, let's compute 91 divided by 2.6: 91 2.6 = 35

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 91 divided by x gives a result of 35, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

91 x = 35

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 91 x x = 35 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 = 35 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 35: 91 35 = 35 x 35
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.6 = x (or x = 2.6 )

So, if the dividend is 91 and the quotient is 35, the divisor is 2.6.
