What is x when 56 divided by x equals 69?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 56 and the quotient 69?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 56 ÷ 69 = 0.81159420289855

To prove this, let's compute 56 divided by 0.81159420289855: 56 0.81159420289855 = 69

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 56 divided by x gives a result of 69, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

56 x = 69

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 56 x x = 69 x
  2. 56 x x is equivalent to x x × 56 , which simplifies to 1 × 56 (or just 56 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 56 = 69 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 69: 56 69 = 69 x 69
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.81159420289855 = x (or x = 0.81159420289855 )

So, if the dividend is 56 and the quotient is 69, the divisor is 0.81159420289855.
