What is x when 69 divided by x equals 7?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 69 and the quotient 7?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 69 ÷ 7 = 9.8571428571429

To prove this, let's compute 69 divided by 9.8571428571429: 69 9.8571428571429 = 7

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 69 divided by x gives a result of 7, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

69 x = 7

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 69 x x = 7 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 = 7 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 7: 69 7 = 7 x 7
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 9.8571428571429 = x (or x = 9.8571428571429 )

So, if the dividend is 69 and the quotient is 7, the divisor is 9.8571428571429.
