What is x when 93 divided by x equals 59?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 93 and the quotient 59?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 93 ÷ 59 = 1.5762711864407

To prove this, let's compute 93 divided by 1.5762711864407: 93 1.5762711864407 = 59

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 93 divided by x gives a result of 59, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

93 x = 59

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 93 x x = 59 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 = 59 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 59: 93 59 = 59 x 59
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.5762711864407 = x (or x = 1.5762711864407 )

So, if the dividend is 93 and the quotient is 59, the divisor is 1.5762711864407.
