What is x when 96 divided by x equals 51?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 96 and the quotient 51?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 96 ÷ 51 = 1.8823529411765

To prove this, let's compute 96 divided by 1.8823529411765: 96 1.8823529411765 = 51

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 96 divided by x gives a result of 51, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

96 x = 51

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 96 x x = 51 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 = 51 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 51: 96 51 = 51 x 51
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.8823529411765 = x (or x = 1.8823529411765 )

So, if the dividend is 96 and the quotient is 51, the divisor is 1.8823529411765.
