What is x when 69 divided by x equals 28?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 69 and the quotient 28?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 69 ÷ 28 = 2.4642857142857

To prove this, let's compute 69 divided by 2.4642857142857: 69 2.4642857142857 = 28

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 69 divided by x gives a result of 28, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

69 x = 28

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 69 x x = 28 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 = 28 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 28: 69 28 = 28 x 28
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.4642857142857 = x (or x = 2.4642857142857 )

So, if the dividend is 69 and the quotient is 28, the divisor is 2.4642857142857.
