What is x when 93 divided by x equals 92?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 93 and the quotient 92?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 93 ÷ 92 = 1.0108695652174

To prove this, let's compute 93 divided by 1.0108695652174: 93 1.0108695652174 = 92

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 93 divided by x gives a result of 92, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

93 x = 92

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 93 x x = 92 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 = 92 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 92: 93 92 = 92 x 92
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.0108695652174 = x (or x = 1.0108695652174 )

So, if the dividend is 93 and the quotient is 92, the divisor is 1.0108695652174.
