What is x when 95 divided by x equals 26?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 95 and the quotient 26?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 95 ÷ 26 = 3.6538461538462

To prove this, let's compute 95 divided by 3.6538461538462: 95 3.6538461538462 = 26

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 95 divided by x gives a result of 26, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

95 x = 26

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 95 x x = 26 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 = 26 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 26: 95 26 = 26 x 26
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.6538461538462 = x (or x = 3.6538461538462 )

So, if the dividend is 95 and the quotient is 26, the divisor is 3.6538461538462.
