What is x when 70 divided by x equals 6?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 70 ÷ 6 = 11.666666666667

To prove this, let's compute 70 divided by 11.666666666667: $\frac{70}{11.666666666667} = 6$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 70 divided by x gives a result of 6, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{70}{x} = 6$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{70 x}{x} = 6 x$
$\frac{70 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 70$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 70$ (or just $70$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $70 = 6 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 6: $\frac{70}{6} = \frac{6 x}{6}$
Which gives, after simplification: $11.666666666667 = x$ (or $x = 11.666666666667$ )

So, if the dividend is 70 and the quotient is 6, the divisor is 11.666666666667.
