What is x when 91 divided by x equals 99?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 91 and the quotient 99?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 91 ÷ 99 = 0.91919191919192

To prove this, let's compute 91 divided by 0.91919191919192: 91 0.91919191919192 = 99

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 91 divided by x gives a result of 99, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

91 x = 99

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 91 x x = 99 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 = 99 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 99: 91 99 = 99 x 99
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.91919191919192 = x (or x = 0.91919191919192 )

So, if the dividend is 91 and the quotient is 99, the divisor is 0.91919191919192.
