What is x when 68 divided by x equals 76?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 68 and the quotient 76?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 68 ÷ 76 = 0.89473684210526

To prove this, let's compute 68 divided by 0.89473684210526: 68 0.89473684210526 = 76

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 68 divided by x gives a result of 76, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

68 x = 76

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 68 x x = 76 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 = 76 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 76: 68 76 = 76 x 76
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.89473684210526 = x (or x = 0.89473684210526 )

So, if the dividend is 68 and the quotient is 76, the divisor is 0.89473684210526.
