What is x when 60 divided by x equals 79?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 60 ÷ 79 = 0.75949367088608

To prove this, let's compute 60 divided by 0.75949367088608: $\frac{60}{0.75949367088608} = 79$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 60 divided by x gives a result of 79, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{60}{x} = 79$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{60 x}{x} = 79 x$
$\frac{60 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 60$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 60$ (or just $60$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $60 = 79 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 79: $\frac{60}{79} = \frac{79 x}{79}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.75949367088608 = x$ (or $x = 0.75949367088608$ )

So, if the dividend is 60 and the quotient is 79, the divisor is 0.75949367088608.
