What is x when 18 divided by x equals 26?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 18 ÷ 26 = 0.69230769230769

To prove this, let's compute 18 divided by 0.69230769230769: $\frac{18}{0.69230769230769} = 26$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 18 divided by x gives a result of 26, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{18}{x} = 26$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{18 x}{x} = 26 x$
$\frac{18 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 18$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 18$ (or just $18$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $18 = 26 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 26: $\frac{18}{26} = \frac{26 x}{26}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.69230769230769 = x$ (or $x = 0.69230769230769$ )

So, if the dividend is 18 and the quotient is 26, the divisor is 0.69230769230769.
