What is x when 93 divided by x equals 17?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 93 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 93 ÷ 17 = 5.4705882352941

To prove this, let's compute 93 divided by 5.4705882352941: 93 5.4705882352941 = 17

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 93 divided by x gives a result of 17, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

93 x = 17

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 93 x x = 17 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 = 17 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 17: 93 17 = 17 x 17
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 5.4705882352941 = x (or x = 5.4705882352941 )

So, if the dividend is 93 and the quotient is 17, the divisor is 5.4705882352941.
