What is x when 92 divided by x equals 3?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 92 and the quotient 3?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 92 ÷ 3 = 30.666666666667

To prove this, let's compute 92 divided by 30.666666666667: 92 30.666666666667 = 3

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 92 divided by x gives a result of 3, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

92 x = 3

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 92 x x = 3 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 = 3 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 3: 92 3 = 3 x 3
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 30.666666666667 = x (or x = 30.666666666667 )

So, if the dividend is 92 and the quotient is 3, the divisor is 30.666666666667.
