What is x when 91 divided by x equals 9?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 91 and the quotient 9?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 91 ÷ 9 = 10.111111111111

To prove this, let's compute 91 divided by 10.111111111111: 91 10.111111111111 = 9

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 91 divided by x gives a result of 9, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

91 x = 9

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 91 x x = 9 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 = 9 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 9: 91 9 = 9 x 9
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 10.111111111111 = x (or x = 10.111111111111 )

So, if the dividend is 91 and the quotient is 9, the divisor is 10.111111111111.
