What is x when 96 divided by x equals 18?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 96 ÷ 18 = 5.3333333333333

To prove this, let's compute 96 divided by 5.3333333333333: $\frac{96}{5.3333333333333} = 18$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 96 divided by x gives a result of 18, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{96}{x} = 18$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{96 x}{x} = 18 x$
$\frac{96 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 96$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 96$ (or just $96$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $96 = 18 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 18: $\frac{96}{18} = \frac{18 x}{18}$
Which gives, after simplification: $5.3333333333333 = x$ (or $x = 5.3333333333333$ )

So, if the dividend is 96 and the quotient is 18, the divisor is 5.3333333333333.
