What is x when 79 divided by x equals 29?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 79 ÷ 29 = 2.7241379310345

To prove this, let's compute 79 divided by 2.7241379310345: $\frac{79}{2.7241379310345} = 29$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 79 divided by x gives a result of 29, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{79}{x} = 29$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{79 x}{x} = 29 x$
$\frac{79 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 79$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 79$ (or just $79$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $79 = 29 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 29: $\frac{79}{29} = \frac{29 x}{29}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.7241379310345 = x$ (or $x = 2.7241379310345$ )

So, if the dividend is 79 and the quotient is 29, the divisor is 2.7241379310345.
