What is x when 93 divided by x equals 72?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 93 ÷ 72 = 1.2916666666667

To prove this, let's compute 93 divided by 1.2916666666667: $\frac{93}{1.2916666666667} = 72$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 93 divided by x gives a result of 72, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{93}{x} = 72$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{93 x}{x} = 72 x$
$\frac{93 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 93$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 93$ (or just $93$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $93 = 72 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 72: $\frac{93}{72} = \frac{72 x}{72}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.2916666666667 = x$ (or $x = 1.2916666666667$ )

So, if the dividend is 93 and the quotient is 72, the divisor is 1.2916666666667.
