What is x when 92 divided by x equals 10?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 92 and the quotient 10?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 92 ÷ 10 = 9.2

To prove this, let's compute 92 divided by 9.2: 92 9.2 = 10

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 92 divided by x gives a result of 10, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

92 x = 10

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 92 x x = 10 x
  2. 92 x x is equivalent to x x × 92 , which simplifies to 1 × 92 (or just 92 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 92 = 10 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 10: 92 10 = 10 x 10
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 9.2 = x (or x = 9.2 )

So, if the dividend is 92 and the quotient is 10, the divisor is 9.2.
