What is x when 96 divided by x equals 58?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 96 and the quotient 58?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 96 ÷ 58 = 1.6551724137931

To prove this, let's compute 96 divided by 1.6551724137931: 96 1.6551724137931 = 58

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 96 divided by x gives a result of 58, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

96 x = 58

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 96 x x = 58 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 = 58 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 58: 96 58 = 58 x 58
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.6551724137931 = x (or x = 1.6551724137931 )

So, if the dividend is 96 and the quotient is 58, the divisor is 1.6551724137931.
