What is x when 95 divided by x equals 15?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 95 and the quotient 15?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 95 ÷ 15 = 6.3333333333333

To prove this, let's compute 95 divided by 6.3333333333333: 95 6.3333333333333 = 15

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 95 divided by x gives a result of 15, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

95 x = 15

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 95 x x = 15 x
  2. 95 x x is equivalent to x x × 95 , which simplifies to 1 × 95 (or just 95 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 95 = 15 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 15: 95 15 = 15 x 15
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 6.3333333333333 = x (or x = 6.3333333333333 )

So, if the dividend is 95 and the quotient is 15, the divisor is 6.3333333333333.
