What is x when 79 divided by x equals 23?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 79 ÷ 23 = 3.4347826086957

To prove this, let's compute 79 divided by 3.4347826086957: $\frac{79}{3.4347826086957} = 23$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 79 divided by x gives a result of 23, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{79}{x} = 23$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{79 x}{x} = 23 x$
$\frac{79 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 79$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 79$ (or just $79$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $79 = 23 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 23: $\frac{79}{23} = \frac{23 x}{23}$
Which gives, after simplification: $3.4347826086957 = x$ (or $x = 3.4347826086957$ )

So, if the dividend is 79 and the quotient is 23, the divisor is 3.4347826086957.
