What is x when 93 divided by x equals 12?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 93 and the quotient 12?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 93 ÷ 12 = 7.75

To prove this, let's compute 93 divided by 7.75: 93 7.75 = 12

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 93 divided by x gives a result of 12, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

93 x = 12

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 93 x x = 12 x
  2. 93 x x is equivalent to x x × 93 , which simplifies to 1 × 93 (or just 93 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 93 = 12 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 12: 93 12 = 12 x 12
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 7.75 = x (or x = 7.75 )

So, if the dividend is 93 and the quotient is 12, the divisor is 7.75.
