What is x when 5 divided by x equals 68?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 5 ÷ 68 = 0.073529411764706

To prove this, let's compute 5 divided by 0.073529411764706: $\frac{5}{0.073529411764706} = 68$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 5 divided by x gives a result of 68, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{5}{x} = 68$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{5 x}{x} = 68 x$
$\frac{5 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 5$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 5$ (or just $5$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $5 = 68 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 68: $\frac{5}{68} = \frac{68 x}{68}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.073529411764706 = x$ (or $x = 0.073529411764706$ )

So, if the dividend is 5 and the quotient is 68, the divisor is 0.073529411764706.
