What is x when 26 divided by x equals 16?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 26 ÷ 16 = 1.625

To prove this, let's compute 26 divided by 1.625: $\frac{26}{1.625} = 16$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 26 divided by x gives a result of 16, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{26}{x} = 16$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{26 x}{x} = 16 x$
$\frac{26 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 26$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 26$ (or just $26$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $26 = 16 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 16: $\frac{26}{16} = \frac{16 x}{16}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.625 = x$ (or $x = 1.625$ )

So, if the dividend is 26 and the quotient is 16, the divisor is 1.625.
