What is x when 60 divided by x equals 10?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 60 ÷ 10 = 6

To prove this, let's compute 60 divided by 6: $\frac{60}{6} = 10$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 60 divided by x gives a result of 10, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{60}{x} = 10$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{60 x}{x} = 10 x$
$\frac{60 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 60$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 60$ (or just $60$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $60 = 10 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 10: $\frac{60}{10} = \frac{10 x}{10}$
Which gives, after simplification: $6 = x$ (or $x = 6$ )

So, if the dividend is 60 and the quotient is 10, the divisor is 6.
