What is x when 95 divided by x equals 3?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 95 and the quotient 3?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 95 ÷ 3 = 31.666666666667

To prove this, let's compute 95 divided by 31.666666666667: 95 31.666666666667 = 3

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 95 divided by x gives a result of 3, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

95 x = 3

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 95 x x = 3 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 = 3 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 3: 95 3 = 3 x 3
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 31.666666666667 = x (or x = 31.666666666667 )

So, if the dividend is 95 and the quotient is 3, the divisor is 31.666666666667.
