What is x when 20 divided by x equals 10?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 20 ÷ 10 = 2

To prove this, let's compute 20 divided by 2: $\frac{20}{2} = 10$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 20 divided by x gives a result of 10, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{20}{x} = 10$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{20 x}{x} = 10 x$
$\frac{20 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 20$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 20$ (or just $20$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $20 = 10 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 10: $\frac{20}{10} = \frac{10 x}{10}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2 = x$ (or $x = 2$ )

So, if the dividend is 20 and the quotient is 10, the divisor is 2.
