What is x when 35 divided by x equals 69?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 35 and the quotient 69?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 35 ÷ 69 = 0.50724637681159

To prove this, let's compute 35 divided by 0.50724637681159: 35 0.50724637681159 = 69

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 35 divided by x gives a result of 69, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

35 x = 69

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 35 x x = 69 x
  2. 35 x x is equivalent to x x × 35 , which simplifies to 1 × 35 (or just 35 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 35 = 69 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 69: 35 69 = 69 x 69
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.50724637681159 = x (or x = 0.50724637681159 )

So, if the dividend is 35 and the quotient is 69, the divisor is 0.50724637681159.
