What is x when 92 divided by x equals 99?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 92 and the quotient 99?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 92 ÷ 99 = 0.92929292929293

To prove this, let's compute 92 divided by 0.92929292929293: 92 0.92929292929293 = 99

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 92 divided by x gives a result of 99, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

92 x = 99

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 92 x x = 99 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 = 99 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 99: 92 99 = 99 x 99
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.92929292929293 = x (or x = 0.92929292929293 )

So, if the dividend is 92 and the quotient is 99, the divisor is 0.92929292929293.
