What is x when 59 divided by x equals 69?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 59 and the quotient 69?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 59 ÷ 69 = 0.85507246376812

To prove this, let's compute 59 divided by 0.85507246376812: 59 0.85507246376812 = 69

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 59 divided by x gives a result of 69, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

59 x = 69

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 59 x x = 69 x
  2. 59 x x is equivalent to x x × 59 , which simplifies to 1 × 59 (or just 59 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 59 = 69 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 69: 59 69 = 69 x 69
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.85507246376812 = x (or x = 0.85507246376812 )

So, if the dividend is 59 and the quotient is 69, the divisor is 0.85507246376812.
