What is x when 94 divided by x equals 87?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 94 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 94 ÷ 87 = 1.0804597701149

To prove this, let's compute 94 divided by 1.0804597701149: 94 1.0804597701149 = 87

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 94 divided by x gives a result of 87, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

94 x = 87

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 94 x x = 87 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 = 87 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 87: 94 87 = 87 x 87
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.0804597701149 = x (or x = 1.0804597701149 )

So, if the dividend is 94 and the quotient is 87, the divisor is 1.0804597701149.
