What is x when 96 divided by x equals 29?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 96 and the quotient 29?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 96 ÷ 29 = 3.3103448275862

To prove this, let's compute 96 divided by 3.3103448275862: 96 3.3103448275862 = 29

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 96 divided by x gives a result of 29, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

96 x = 29

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 96 x x = 29 x
  2. 96 x x is equivalent to x x × 96 , which simplifies to 1 × 96 (or just 96 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 96 = 29 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 29: 96 29 = 29 x 29
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.3103448275862 = x (or x = 3.3103448275862 )

So, if the dividend is 96 and the quotient is 29, the divisor is 3.3103448275862.
