What is x when 93 divided by x equals 39?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 93 and the quotient 39?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 93 ÷ 39 = 2.3846153846154

To prove this, let's compute 93 divided by 2.3846153846154: 93 2.3846153846154 = 39

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 93 divided by x gives a result of 39, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

93 x = 39

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 93 x x = 39 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 = 39 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 39: 93 39 = 39 x 39
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.3846153846154 = x (or x = 2.3846153846154 )

So, if the dividend is 93 and the quotient is 39, the divisor is 2.3846153846154.
