What is x when 68 divided by x equals 27?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 68 ÷ 27 = 2.5185185185185

To prove this, let's compute 68 divided by 2.5185185185185: $\frac{68}{2.5185185185185} = 27$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 68 divided by x gives a result of 27, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{68}{x} = 27$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{68 x}{x} = 27 x$
$\frac{68 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 68$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 68$ (or just $68$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $68 = 27 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 27: $\frac{68}{27} = \frac{27 x}{27}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.5185185185185 = x$ (or $x = 2.5185185185185$ )

So, if the dividend is 68 and the quotient is 27, the divisor is 2.5185185185185.
