What is x when 95 divided by x equals 99?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 95 and the quotient 99?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 95 ÷ 99 = 0.95959595959596

To prove this, let's compute 95 divided by 0.95959595959596: 95 0.95959595959596 = 99

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 95 divided by x gives a result of 99, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

95 x = 99

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 95 x x = 99 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 = 99 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 99: 95 99 = 99 x 99
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.95959595959596 = x (or x = 0.95959595959596 )

So, if the dividend is 95 and the quotient is 99, the divisor is 0.95959595959596.
