What is x when 69 divided by x equals 10?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 69 and the quotient 10?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 69 ÷ 10 = 6.9

To prove this, let's compute 69 divided by 6.9: 69 6.9 = 10

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 69 divided by x gives a result of 10, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

69 x = 10

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 69 x x = 10 x
  2. 69 x x is equivalent to x x × 69 , which simplifies to 1 × 69 (or just 69 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 69 = 10 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 10: 69 10 = 10 x 10
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 6.9 = x (or x = 6.9 )

So, if the dividend is 69 and the quotient is 10, the divisor is 6.9.
