What is x when 94 divided by x equals 12?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 94 and the quotient 12?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 94 ÷ 12 = 7.8333333333333

To prove this, let's compute 94 divided by 7.8333333333333: 94 7.8333333333333 = 12

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 94 divided by x gives a result of 12, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

94 x = 12

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 94 x x = 12 x
  2. 94 x x is equivalent to x x × 94 , which simplifies to 1 × 94 (or just 94 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 94 = 12 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 12: 94 12 = 12 x 12
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 7.8333333333333 = x (or x = 7.8333333333333 )

So, if the dividend is 94 and the quotient is 12, the divisor is 7.8333333333333.
