What is x when 93 divided by x equals 55?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 93 and the quotient 55?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 93 ÷ 55 = 1.6909090909091

To prove this, let's compute 93 divided by 1.6909090909091: 93 1.6909090909091 = 55

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 93 divided by x gives a result of 55, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

93 x = 55

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 93 x x = 55 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 = 55 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 55: 93 55 = 55 x 55
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.6909090909091 = x (or x = 1.6909090909091 )

So, if the dividend is 93 and the quotient is 55, the divisor is 1.6909090909091.
