What is x when 94 divided by x equals 72?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 94 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 94 ÷ 72 = 1.3055555555556

To prove this, let's compute 94 divided by 1.3055555555556: 94 1.3055555555556 = 72

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 94 divided by x gives a result of 72, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

94 x = 72

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 94 x x = 72 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 = 72 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 72: 94 72 = 72 x 72
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.3055555555556 = x (or x = 1.3055555555556 )

So, if the dividend is 94 and the quotient is 72, the divisor is 1.3055555555556.
