What is x when 96 divided by x equals 54?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 96 and the quotient 54?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 96 ÷ 54 = 1.7777777777778

To prove this, let's compute 96 divided by 1.7777777777778: 96 1.7777777777778 = 54

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 96 divided by x gives a result of 54, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

96 x = 54

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 96 x x = 54 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 = 54 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 54: 96 54 = 54 x 54
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.7777777777778 = x (or x = 1.7777777777778 )

So, if the dividend is 96 and the quotient is 54, the divisor is 1.7777777777778.
