What is x when 35 divided by x equals 86?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 35 ÷ 86 = 0.40697674418605

To prove this, let's compute 35 divided by 0.40697674418605: $\frac{35}{0.40697674418605} = 86$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 35 divided by x gives a result of 86, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{35}{x} = 86$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{35 x}{x} = 86 x$
$\frac{35 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 35$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 35$ (or just $35$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $35 = 86 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 86: $\frac{35}{86} = \frac{86 x}{86}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.40697674418605 = x$ (or $x = 0.40697674418605$ )

So, if the dividend is 35 and the quotient is 86, the divisor is 0.40697674418605.
