What is x when 91 divided by x equals 36?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 91 and the quotient 36?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 91 ÷ 36 = 2.5277777777778

To prove this, let's compute 91 divided by 2.5277777777778: 91 2.5277777777778 = 36

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 91 divided by x gives a result of 36, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

91 x = 36

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 91 x x = 36 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 = 36 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 36: 91 36 = 36 x 36
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.5277777777778 = x (or x = 2.5277777777778 )

So, if the dividend is 91 and the quotient is 36, the divisor is 2.5277777777778.
