What is x when 77 divided by x equals 69?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 77 and the quotient 69?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 77 ÷ 69 = 1.1159420289855

To prove this, let's compute 77 divided by 1.1159420289855: 77 1.1159420289855 = 69

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 77 divided by x gives a result of 69, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

77 x = 69

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 77 x x = 69 x
  2. 77 x x is equivalent to x x × 77 , which simplifies to 1 × 77 (or just 77 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 77 = 69 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 69: 77 69 = 69 x 69
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.1159420289855 = x (or x = 1.1159420289855 )

So, if the dividend is 77 and the quotient is 69, the divisor is 1.1159420289855.
