What is x when 68 divided by x equals 8?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 68 ÷ 8 = 8.5

To prove this, let's compute 68 divided by 8.5: $\frac{68}{8.5} = 8$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 68 divided by x gives a result of 8, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{68}{x} = 8$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{68 x}{x} = 8 x$
$\frac{68 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 68$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 68$ (or just $68$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $68 = 8 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 8: $\frac{68}{8} = \frac{8 x}{8}$
Which gives, after simplification: $8.5 = x$ (or $x = 8.5$ )

So, if the dividend is 68 and the quotient is 8, the divisor is 8.5.
