What is x when 91 divided by x equals 53?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 91 and the quotient 53?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 91 ÷ 53 = 1.7169811320755

To prove this, let's compute 91 divided by 1.7169811320755: 91 1.7169811320755 = 53

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 91 divided by x gives a result of 53, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

91 x = 53

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 91 x x = 53 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 = 53 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 53: 91 53 = 53 x 53
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.7169811320755 = x (or x = 1.7169811320755 )

So, if the dividend is 91 and the quotient is 53, the divisor is 1.7169811320755.
