What is x when 69 divided by x equals 99?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 69 and the quotient 99?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 69 ÷ 99 = 0.6969696969697

To prove this, let's compute 69 divided by 0.6969696969697: 69 0.6969696969697 = 99

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 69 divided by x gives a result of 99, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

69 x = 99

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 69 x x = 99 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 = 99 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 99: 69 99 = 99 x 99
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.6969696969697 = x (or x = 0.6969696969697 )

So, if the dividend is 69 and the quotient is 99, the divisor is 0.6969696969697.
