What is x when 95 divided by x equals 27?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 95 and the quotient 27?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 95 ÷ 27 = 3.5185185185185

To prove this, let's compute 95 divided by 3.5185185185185: 95 3.5185185185185 = 27

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 95 divided by x gives a result of 27, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

95 x = 27

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 95 x x = 27 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 = 27 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 27: 95 27 = 27 x 27
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.5185185185185 = x (or x = 3.5185185185185 )

So, if the dividend is 95 and the quotient is 27, the divisor is 3.5185185185185.
