What is x when 20 divided by x equals 6?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 20 ÷ 6 = 3.3333333333333

To prove this, let's compute 20 divided by 3.3333333333333: $\frac{20}{3.3333333333333} = 6$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 20 divided by x gives a result of 6, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{20}{x} = 6$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{20 x}{x} = 6 x$
$\frac{20 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 20$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 20$ (or just $20$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $20 = 6 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 6: $\frac{20}{6} = \frac{6 x}{6}$
Which gives, after simplification: $3.3333333333333 = x$ (or $x = 3.3333333333333$ )

So, if the dividend is 20 and the quotient is 6, the divisor is 3.3333333333333.
