What is x when 96 divided by x equals 23?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 96 ÷ 23 = 4.1739130434783

To prove this, let's compute 96 divided by 4.1739130434783: $\frac{96}{4.1739130434783} = 23$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 96 divided by x gives a result of 23, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{96}{x} = 23$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{96 x}{x} = 23 x$
$\frac{96 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 96$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 96$ (or just $96$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $96 = 23 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 23: $\frac{96}{23} = \frac{23 x}{23}$
Which gives, after simplification: $4.1739130434783 = x$ (or $x = 4.1739130434783$ )

So, if the dividend is 96 and the quotient is 23, the divisor is 4.1739130434783.
