What is x when 95 divided by x equals 23?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 95 and the quotient 23?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 95 ÷ 23 = 4.1304347826087

To prove this, let's compute 95 divided by 4.1304347826087: 95 4.1304347826087 = 23

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 95 divided by x gives a result of 23, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

95 x = 23

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 95 x x = 23 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 = 23 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 23: 95 23 = 23 x 23
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.1304347826087 = x (or x = 4.1304347826087 )

So, if the dividend is 95 and the quotient is 23, the divisor is 4.1304347826087.
