What is x when 70 divided by x equals 65?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 70 ÷ 65 = 1.0769230769231

To prove this, let's compute 70 divided by 1.0769230769231: $\frac{70}{1.0769230769231} = 65$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 70 divided by x gives a result of 65, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{70}{x} = 65$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{70 x}{x} = 65 x$
$\frac{70 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 70$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 70$ (or just $70$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $70 = 65 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 65: $\frac{70}{65} = \frac{65 x}{65}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.0769230769231 = x$ (or $x = 1.0769230769231$ )

So, if the dividend is 70 and the quotient is 65, the divisor is 1.0769230769231.
