What is x when 100 divided by x equals 69?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 100 and the quotient 69?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 100 ÷ 69 = 1.4492753623188

To prove this, let's compute 100 divided by 1.4492753623188: 100 1.4492753623188 = 69

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 100 divided by x gives a result of 69, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

100 x = 69

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 100 x x = 69 x
  2. 100 x x is equivalent to x x × 100 , which simplifies to 1 × 100 (or just 100 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 100 = 69 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 69: 100 69 = 69 x 69
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.4492753623188 = x (or x = 1.4492753623188 )

So, if the dividend is 100 and the quotient is 69, the divisor is 1.4492753623188.
