What is x when 79 divided by x equals 34?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 79 ÷ 34 = 2.3235294117647

To prove this, let's compute 79 divided by 2.3235294117647: $\frac{79}{2.3235294117647} = 34$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 79 divided by x gives a result of 34, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{79}{x} = 34$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{79 x}{x} = 34 x$
$\frac{79 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 79$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 79$ (or just $79$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $79 = 34 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 34: $\frac{79}{34} = \frac{34 x}{34}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.3235294117647 = x$ (or $x = 2.3235294117647$ )

So, if the dividend is 79 and the quotient is 34, the divisor is 2.3235294117647.
