What is x when 65 divided by x equals 86?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 65 ÷ 86 = 0.75581395348837

To prove this, let's compute 65 divided by 0.75581395348837: $\frac{65}{0.75581395348837} = 86$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 65 divided by x gives a result of 86, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{65}{x} = 86$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{65 x}{x} = 86 x$
$\frac{65 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 65$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 65$ (or just $65$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $65 = 86 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 86: $\frac{65}{86} = \frac{86 x}{86}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.75581395348837 = x$ (or $x = 0.75581395348837$ )

So, if the dividend is 65 and the quotient is 86, the divisor is 0.75581395348837.
