What is x when 93 divided by x equals 16?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 93 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 93 ÷ 16 = 5.8125

To prove this, let's compute 93 divided by 5.8125: 93 5.8125 = 16

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 93 divided by x gives a result of 16, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

93 x = 16

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 93 x x = 16 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 = 16 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 16: 93 16 = 16 x 16
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 5.8125 = x (or x = 5.8125 )

So, if the dividend is 93 and the quotient is 16, the divisor is 5.8125.
