What is x when 92 divided by x equals 29?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 92 and the quotient 29?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 92 ÷ 29 = 3.1724137931034

To prove this, let's compute 92 divided by 3.1724137931034: 92 3.1724137931034 = 29

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 92 divided by x gives a result of 29, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

92 x = 29

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 92 x x = 29 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 = 29 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 29: 92 29 = 29 x 29
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.1724137931034 = x (or x = 3.1724137931034 )

So, if the dividend is 92 and the quotient is 29, the divisor is 3.1724137931034.
