What is x when 91 divided by x equals 80?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 91 and the quotient 80?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 91 ÷ 80 = 1.1375

To prove this, let's compute 91 divided by 1.1375: 91 1.1375 = 80

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 91 divided by x gives a result of 80, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

91 x = 80

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 91 x x = 80 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 = 80 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 80: 91 80 = 80 x 80
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.1375 = x (or x = 1.1375 )

So, if the dividend is 91 and the quotient is 80, the divisor is 1.1375.
