What is x when 92 divided by x equals 43?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 92 and the quotient 43?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 92 ÷ 43 = 2.1395348837209

To prove this, let's compute 92 divided by 2.1395348837209: 92 2.1395348837209 = 43

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 92 divided by x gives a result of 43, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

92 x = 43

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 92 x x = 43 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 = 43 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 43: 92 43 = 43 x 43
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.1395348837209 = x (or x = 2.1395348837209 )

So, if the dividend is 92 and the quotient is 43, the divisor is 2.1395348837209.
