What is x when 25 divided by x equals 26?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 25 ÷ 26 = 0.96153846153846

To prove this, let's compute 25 divided by 0.96153846153846: $\frac{25}{0.96153846153846} = 26$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 25 divided by x gives a result of 26, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{25}{x} = 26$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{25 x}{x} = 26 x$
$\frac{25 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 25$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 25$ (or just $25$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $25 = 26 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 26: $\frac{25}{26} = \frac{26 x}{26}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.96153846153846 = x$ (or $x = 0.96153846153846$ )

So, if the dividend is 25 and the quotient is 26, the divisor is 0.96153846153846.
