What is x when 93 divided by x equals 15?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 93 and the quotient 15?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 93 ÷ 15 = 6.2

To prove this, let's compute 93 divided by 6.2: 93 6.2 = 15

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 93 divided by x gives a result of 15, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

93 x = 15

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 93 x x = 15 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 = 15 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 15: 93 15 = 15 x 15
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 6.2 = x (or x = 6.2 )

So, if the dividend is 93 and the quotient is 15, the divisor is 6.2.
