What is x when 92 divided by x equals 64?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 92 and the quotient 64?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 92 ÷ 64 = 1.4375

To prove this, let's compute 92 divided by 1.4375: 92 1.4375 = 64

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 92 divided by x gives a result of 64, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

92 x = 64

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 92 x x = 64 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 = 64 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 64: 92 64 = 64 x 64
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.4375 = x (or x = 1.4375 )

So, if the dividend is 92 and the quotient is 64, the divisor is 1.4375.
