What is x when 69 divided by x equals 5?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 69 ÷ 5 = 13.8

To prove this, let's compute 69 divided by 13.8: $\frac{69}{13.8} = 5$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 69 divided by x gives a result of 5, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{69}{x} = 5$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{69 x}{x} = 5 x$
$\frac{69 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 69$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 69$ (or just $69$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $69 = 5 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 5: $\frac{69}{5} = \frac{5 x}{5}$
Which gives, after simplification: $13.8 = x$ (or $x = 13.8$ )

So, if the dividend is 69 and the quotient is 5, the divisor is 13.8.
