What is x when 80 divided by x equals 6?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 80 and the quotient 6?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 80 ÷ 6 = 13.333333333333

To prove this, let's compute 80 divided by 13.333333333333: 80 13.333333333333 = 6

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 80 divided by x gives a result of 6, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

80 x = 6

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 80 x x = 6 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 = 6 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 6: 80 6 = 6 x 6
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 13.333333333333 = x (or x = 13.333333333333 )

So, if the dividend is 80 and the quotient is 6, the divisor is 13.333333333333.
