What is x when 26 divided by x equals 5?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 26 ÷ 5 = 5.2

To prove this, let's compute 26 divided by 5.2: $\frac{26}{5.2} = 5$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 26 divided by x gives a result of 5, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{26}{x} = 5$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{26 x}{x} = 5 x$
$\frac{26 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 26$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 26$ (or just $26$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $26 = 5 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 5: $\frac{26}{5} = \frac{5 x}{5}$
Which gives, after simplification: $5.2 = x$ (or $x = 5.2$ )

So, if the dividend is 26 and the quotient is 5, the divisor is 5.2.
