What is x when 94 divided by x equals 17?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 94 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 94 ÷ 17 = 5.5294117647059

To prove this, let's compute 94 divided by 5.5294117647059: 94 5.5294117647059 = 17

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 94 divided by x gives a result of 17, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

94 x = 17

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 94 x x = 17 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 = 17 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 17: 94 17 = 17 x 17
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 5.5294117647059 = x (or x = 5.5294117647059 )

So, if the dividend is 94 and the quotient is 17, the divisor is 5.5294117647059.
