What is x when 93 divided by x equals 73?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 93 and the quotient 73?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 93 ÷ 73 = 1.2739726027397

To prove this, let's compute 93 divided by 1.2739726027397: 93 1.2739726027397 = 73

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 93 divided by x gives a result of 73, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

93 x = 73

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 93 x x = 73 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 = 73 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 73: 93 73 = 73 x 73
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.2739726027397 = x (or x = 1.2739726027397 )

So, if the dividend is 93 and the quotient is 73, the divisor is 1.2739726027397.
