What is x when 93 divided by x equals 42?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 93 ÷ 42 = 2.2142857142857

To prove this, let's compute 93 divided by 2.2142857142857: $\frac{93}{2.2142857142857} = 42$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 93 divided by x gives a result of 42, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{93}{x} = 42$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{93 x}{x} = 42 x$
$\frac{93 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 93$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 93$ (or just $93$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $93 = 42 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 42: $\frac{93}{42} = \frac{42 x}{42}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.2142857142857 = x$ (or $x = 2.2142857142857$ )

So, if the dividend is 93 and the quotient is 42, the divisor is 2.2142857142857.
