What is x when 92 divided by x equals 20?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 92 and the quotient 20?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 92 ÷ 20 = 4.6

To prove this, let's compute 92 divided by 4.6: 92 4.6 = 20

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 92 divided by x gives a result of 20, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

92 x = 20

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 92 x x = 20 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 = 20 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 20: 92 20 = 20 x 20
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.6 = x (or x = 4.6 )

So, if the dividend is 92 and the quotient is 20, the divisor is 4.6.
