What is x when 80 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 80 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 80 ÷ 11 = 7.2727272727273

To prove this, let's compute 80 divided by 7.2727272727273: 80 7.2727272727273 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 80 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

80 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 80 x x = 11 x
  2. 80 x x is equivalent to x x × 80 , which simplifies to 1 × 80 (or just 80 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 80 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 80 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 7.2727272727273 = x (or x = 7.2727272727273 )

So, if the dividend is 80 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 7.2727272727273.
