What is x when 93 divided by x equals 86?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 93 and the quotient 86?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 93 ÷ 86 = 1.0813953488372

To prove this, let's compute 93 divided by 1.0813953488372: 93 1.0813953488372 = 86

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 93 divided by x gives a result of 86, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

93 x = 86

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 93 x x = 86 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 = 86 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 86: 93 86 = 86 x 86
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.0813953488372 = x (or x = 1.0813953488372 )

So, if the dividend is 93 and the quotient is 86, the divisor is 1.0813953488372.
