What is x when 69 divided by x equals 75?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 69 and the quotient 75?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 69 ÷ 75 = 0.92

To prove this, let's compute 69 divided by 0.92: 69 0.92 = 75

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 69 divided by x gives a result of 75, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

69 x = 75

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 69 x x = 75 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 = 75 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 75: 69 75 = 75 x 75
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.92 = x (or x = 0.92 )

So, if the dividend is 69 and the quotient is 75, the divisor is 0.92.
