What is x when 26 divided by x equals 69?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 26 and the quotient 69?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 26 ÷ 69 = 0.3768115942029

To prove this, let's compute 26 divided by 0.3768115942029: 26 0.3768115942029 = 69

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 26 divided by x gives a result of 69, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

26 x = 69

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 26 x x = 69 x
  2. 26 x x is equivalent to x x × 26 , which simplifies to 1 × 26 (or just 26 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 26 = 69 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 69: 26 69 = 69 x 69
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.3768115942029 = x (or x = 0.3768115942029 )

So, if the dividend is 26 and the quotient is 69, the divisor is 0.3768115942029.
