What is x when 68 divided by x equals 5?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 68 ÷ 5 = 13.6

To prove this, let's compute 68 divided by 13.6: $\frac{68}{13.6} = 5$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 68 divided by x gives a result of 5, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{68}{x} = 5$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{68 x}{x} = 5 x$
$\frac{68 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 68$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 68$ (or just $68$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $68 = 5 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 5: $\frac{68}{5} = \frac{5 x}{5}$
Which gives, after simplification: $13.6 = x$ (or $x = 13.6$ )

So, if the dividend is 68 and the quotient is 5, the divisor is 13.6.
