What is x when 94 divided by x equals 79?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 94 and the quotient 79?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 94 ÷ 79 = 1.1898734177215

To prove this, let's compute 94 divided by 1.1898734177215: 94 1.1898734177215 = 79

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 94 divided by x gives a result of 79, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

94 x = 79

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 94 x x = 79 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 = 79 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 79: 94 79 = 79 x 79
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.1898734177215 = x (or x = 1.1898734177215 )

So, if the dividend is 94 and the quotient is 79, the divisor is 1.1898734177215.
