What is x when 96 divided by x equals 93?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 96 and the quotient 93?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 96 ÷ 93 = 1.0322580645161

To prove this, let's compute 96 divided by 1.0322580645161: 96 1.0322580645161 = 93

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 96 divided by x gives a result of 93, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

96 x = 93

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 96 x x = 93 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 = 93 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 93: 96 93 = 93 x 93
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.0322580645161 = x (or x = 1.0322580645161 )

So, if the dividend is 96 and the quotient is 93, the divisor is 1.0322580645161.
