What is x when 93 divided by x equals 24?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 93 and the quotient 24?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 93 ÷ 24 = 3.875

To prove this, let's compute 93 divided by 3.875: 93 3.875 = 24

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 93 divided by x gives a result of 24, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

93 x = 24

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 93 x x = 24 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 = 24 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 24: 93 24 = 24 x 24
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.875 = x (or x = 3.875 )

So, if the dividend is 93 and the quotient is 24, the divisor is 3.875.
