What is x when 96 divided by x equals 2?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 96 ÷ 2 = 48

To prove this, let's compute 96 divided by 48: $\frac{96}{48} = 2$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 96 divided by x gives a result of 2, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{96}{x} = 2$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{96 x}{x} = 2 x$
$\frac{96 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 96$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 96$ (or just $96$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $96 = 2 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 2: $\frac{96}{2} = \frac{2 x}{2}$
Which gives, after simplification: $48 = x$ (or $x = 48$ )

So, if the dividend is 96 and the quotient is 2, the divisor is 48.
