What is x when 94 divided by x equals 8?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 94 and the quotient 8?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 94 ÷ 8 = 11.75

To prove this, let's compute 94 divided by 11.75: 94 11.75 = 8

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 94 divided by x gives a result of 8, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

94 x = 8

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 94 x x = 8 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 = 8 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 8: 94 8 = 8 x 8
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 11.75 = x (or x = 11.75 )

So, if the dividend is 94 and the quotient is 8, the divisor is 11.75.
