What is x when 5 divided by x equals 26?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 5 ÷ 26 = 0.19230769230769

To prove this, let's compute 5 divided by 0.19230769230769: $\frac{5}{0.19230769230769} = 26$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 5 divided by x gives a result of 26, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{5}{x} = 26$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{5 x}{x} = 26 x$
$\frac{5 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 5$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 5$ (or just $5$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $5 = 26 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 26: $\frac{5}{26} = \frac{26 x}{26}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.19230769230769 = x$ (or $x = 0.19230769230769$ )

So, if the dividend is 5 and the quotient is 26, the divisor is 0.19230769230769.
