What is x when 34 divided by x equals 26?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 34 and the quotient 26?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 34 ÷ 26 = 1.3076923076923

To prove this, let's compute 34 divided by 1.3076923076923: 34 1.3076923076923 = 26

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 34 divided by x gives a result of 26, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

34 x = 26

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 34 x x = 26 x
  2. 34 x x is equivalent to x x × 34 , which simplifies to 1 × 34 (or just 34 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 34 = 26 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 26: 34 26 = 26 x 26
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.3076923076923 = x (or x = 1.3076923076923 )

So, if the dividend is 34 and the quotient is 26, the divisor is 1.3076923076923.
