What is x when 79 divided by x equals 68?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 79 ÷ 68 = 1.1617647058824

To prove this, let's compute 79 divided by 1.1617647058824: $\frac{79}{1.1617647058824} = 68$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 79 divided by x gives a result of 68, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{79}{x} = 68$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{79 x}{x} = 68 x$
$\frac{79 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 79$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 79$ (or just $79$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $79 = 68 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 68: $\frac{79}{68} = \frac{68 x}{68}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.1617647058824 = x$ (or $x = 1.1617647058824$ )

So, if the dividend is 79 and the quotient is 68, the divisor is 1.1617647058824.
