What is x when 96 divided by x equals 47?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 96 and the quotient 47?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 96 ÷ 47 = 2.0425531914894

To prove this, let's compute 96 divided by 2.0425531914894: 96 2.0425531914894 = 47

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 96 divided by x gives a result of 47, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

96 x = 47

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 96 x x = 47 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 = 47 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 47: 96 47 = 47 x 47
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.0425531914894 = x (or x = 2.0425531914894 )

So, if the dividend is 96 and the quotient is 47, the divisor is 2.0425531914894.
