What is x when 26 divided by x equals 82?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 26 ÷ 82 = 0.31707317073171

To prove this, let's compute 26 divided by 0.31707317073171: $\frac{26}{0.31707317073171} = 82$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 26 divided by x gives a result of 82, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{26}{x} = 82$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{26 x}{x} = 82 x$
$\frac{26 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 26$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 26$ (or just $26$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $26 = 82 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 82: $\frac{26}{82} = \frac{82 x}{82}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.31707317073171 = x$ (or $x = 0.31707317073171$ )

So, if the dividend is 26 and the quotient is 82, the divisor is 0.31707317073171.
