What is x when 92 divided by x equals 32?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 92 and the quotient 32?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 92 ÷ 32 = 2.875

To prove this, let's compute 92 divided by 2.875: 92 2.875 = 32

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 92 divided by x gives a result of 32, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

92 x = 32

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 92 x x = 32 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 = 32 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 32: 92 32 = 32 x 32
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.875 = x (or x = 2.875 )

So, if the dividend is 92 and the quotient is 32, the divisor is 2.875.
