What is x when 94 divided by x equals 3?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 94 and the quotient 3?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 94 ÷ 3 = 31.333333333333

To prove this, let's compute 94 divided by 31.333333333333: 94 31.333333333333 = 3

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 94 divided by x gives a result of 3, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

94 x = 3

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 94 x x = 3 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 = 3 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 3: 94 3 = 3 x 3
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 31.333333333333 = x (or x = 31.333333333333 )

So, if the dividend is 94 and the quotient is 3, the divisor is 31.333333333333.
