What is x when 95 divided by x equals 32?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 95 and the quotient 32?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 95 ÷ 32 = 2.96875

To prove this, let's compute 95 divided by 2.96875: 95 2.96875 = 32

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 95 divided by x gives a result of 32, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

95 x = 32

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 95 x x = 32 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 = 32 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 32: 95 32 = 32 x 32
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.96875 = x (or x = 2.96875 )

So, if the dividend is 95 and the quotient is 32, the divisor is 2.96875.
