What is x when 95 divided by x equals 97?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 95 and the quotient 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 95 ÷ 97 = 0.97938144329897

To prove this, let's compute 95 divided by 0.97938144329897: 95 0.97938144329897 = 97

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 95 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

95 x = 97

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 95 x x = 97 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 = 97 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 97: 95 97 = 97 x 97
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.97938144329897 = x (or x = 0.97938144329897 )

So, if the dividend is 95 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.97938144329897.
