What is x when 69 divided by x equals 100?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 69 and the quotient 100?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 69 ÷ 100 = 0.69

To prove this, let's compute 69 divided by 0.69: 69 0.69 = 100

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 69 divided by x gives a result of 100, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

69 x = 100

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 69 x x = 100 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 = 100 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 100: 69 100 = 100 x 100
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.69 = x (or x = 0.69 )

So, if the dividend is 69 and the quotient is 100, the divisor is 0.69.
