What is x when 68 divided by x equals 83?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 68 ÷ 83 = 0.81927710843373

To prove this, let's compute 68 divided by 0.81927710843373: $\frac{68}{0.81927710843373} = 83$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 68 divided by x gives a result of 83, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{68}{x} = 83$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{68 x}{x} = 83 x$
$\frac{68 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 68$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 68$ (or just $68$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $68 = 83 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 83: $\frac{68}{83} = \frac{83 x}{83}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.81927710843373 = x$ (or $x = 0.81927710843373$ )

So, if the dividend is 68 and the quotient is 83, the divisor is 0.81927710843373.
