What is x when 68 divided by x equals 10?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 68 and the quotient 10?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 68 ÷ 10 = 6.8

To prove this, let's compute 68 divided by 6.8: 68 6.8 = 10

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 68 divided by x gives a result of 10, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

68 x = 10

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 68 x x = 10 x
  2. 68 x x is equivalent to x x × 68 , which simplifies to 1 × 68 (or just 68 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 68 = 10 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 10: 68 10 = 10 x 10
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 6.8 = x (or x = 6.8 )

So, if the dividend is 68 and the quotient is 10, the divisor is 6.8.
