What is x when 78 divided by x equals 29?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 78 ÷ 29 = 2.6896551724138

To prove this, let's compute 78 divided by 2.6896551724138: $\frac{78}{2.6896551724138} = 29$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 78 divided by x gives a result of 29, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{78}{x} = 29$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{78 x}{x} = 29 x$
$\frac{78 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 78$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 78$ (or just $78$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $78 = 29 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 29: $\frac{78}{29} = \frac{29 x}{29}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.6896551724138 = x$ (or $x = 2.6896551724138$ )

So, if the dividend is 78 and the quotient is 29, the divisor is 2.6896551724138.
