What is x when 69 divided by x equals 84?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 69 and the quotient 84?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 69 ÷ 84 = 0.82142857142857

To prove this, let's compute 69 divided by 0.82142857142857: 69 0.82142857142857 = 84

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 69 divided by x gives a result of 84, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

69 x = 84

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 69 x x = 84 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 = 84 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 84: 69 84 = 84 x 84
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.82142857142857 = x (or x = 0.82142857142857 )

So, if the dividend is 69 and the quotient is 84, the divisor is 0.82142857142857.
