What is x when 26 divided by x equals 24?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 26 ÷ 24 = 1.0833333333333

To prove this, let's compute 26 divided by 1.0833333333333: $\frac{26}{1.0833333333333} = 24$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 26 divided by x gives a result of 24, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{26}{x} = 24$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{26 x}{x} = 24 x$
$\frac{26 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 26$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 26$ (or just $26$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $26 = 24 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 24: $\frac{26}{24} = \frac{24 x}{24}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.0833333333333 = x$ (or $x = 1.0833333333333$ )

So, if the dividend is 26 and the quotient is 24, the divisor is 1.0833333333333.
