What is x when 68 divided by x equals 88?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 68 ÷ 88 = 0.77272727272727

To prove this, let's compute 68 divided by 0.77272727272727: $\frac{68}{0.77272727272727} = 88$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 68 divided by x gives a result of 88, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{68}{x} = 88$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{68 x}{x} = 88 x$
$\frac{68 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 68$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 68$ (or just $68$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $68 = 88 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 88: $\frac{68}{88} = \frac{88 x}{88}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.77272727272727 = x$ (or $x = 0.77272727272727$ )

So, if the dividend is 68 and the quotient is 88, the divisor is 0.77272727272727.
