What is x when 95 divided by x equals 9?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 95 and the quotient 9?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 95 ÷ 9 = 10.555555555556

To prove this, let's compute 95 divided by 10.555555555556: 95 10.555555555556 = 9

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 95 divided by x gives a result of 9, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

95 x = 9

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 95 x x = 9 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 = 9 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 9: 95 9 = 9 x 9
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 10.555555555556 = x (or x = 10.555555555556 )

So, if the dividend is 95 and the quotient is 9, the divisor is 10.555555555556.
