What is x when 91 divided by x equals 5?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 91 and the quotient 5?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 91 ÷ 5 = 18.2

To prove this, let's compute 91 divided by 18.2: 91 18.2 = 5

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 91 divided by x gives a result of 5, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

91 x = 5

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 91 x x = 5 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 = 5 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 5: 91 5 = 5 x 5
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 18.2 = x (or x = 18.2 )

So, if the dividend is 91 and the quotient is 5, the divisor is 18.2.
