What is x when 92 divided by x equals 9?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 92 and the quotient 9?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 92 ÷ 9 = 10.222222222222

To prove this, let's compute 92 divided by 10.222222222222: 92 10.222222222222 = 9

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 92 divided by x gives a result of 9, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

92 x = 9

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 92 x x = 9 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 = 9 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 9: 92 9 = 9 x 9
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 10.222222222222 = x (or x = 10.222222222222 )

So, if the dividend is 92 and the quotient is 9, the divisor is 10.222222222222.
