What is x when 92 divided by x equals 96?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 92 and the quotient 96?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 92 ÷ 96 = 0.95833333333333

To prove this, let's compute 92 divided by 0.95833333333333: 92 0.95833333333333 = 96

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 92 divided by x gives a result of 96, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

92 x = 96

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 92 x x = 96 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 = 96 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 96: 92 96 = 96 x 96
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.95833333333333 = x (or x = 0.95833333333333 )

So, if the dividend is 92 and the quotient is 96, the divisor is 0.95833333333333.
