What is x when 69 divided by x equals 51?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 69 and the quotient 51?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 69 ÷ 51 = 1.3529411764706

To prove this, let's compute 69 divided by 1.3529411764706: 69 1.3529411764706 = 51

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 69 divided by x gives a result of 51, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

69 x = 51

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 69 x x = 51 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 = 51 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 51: 69 51 = 51 x 51
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.3529411764706 = x (or x = 1.3529411764706 )

So, if the dividend is 69 and the quotient is 51, the divisor is 1.3529411764706.
