What is x when 92 divided by x equals 17?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 92 ÷ 17 = 5.4117647058824

To prove this, let's compute 92 divided by 5.4117647058824: $\frac{92}{5.4117647058824} = 17$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 92 divided by x gives a result of 17, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{92}{x} = 17$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{92 x}{x} = 17 x$
$\frac{92 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 92$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 92$ (or just $92$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $92 = 17 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 17: $\frac{92}{17} = \frac{17 x}{17}$
Which gives, after simplification: $5.4117647058824 = x$ (or $x = 5.4117647058824$ )

So, if the dividend is 92 and the quotient is 17, the divisor is 5.4117647058824.
