What is x when 80 divided by x equals 68?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 80 and the quotient 68?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 80 ÷ 68 = 1.1764705882353

To prove this, let's compute 80 divided by 1.1764705882353: 80 1.1764705882353 = 68

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 80 divided by x gives a result of 68, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

80 x = 68

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 80 x x = 68 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 = 68 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 68: 80 68 = 68 x 68
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.1764705882353 = x (or x = 1.1764705882353 )

So, if the dividend is 80 and the quotient is 68, the divisor is 1.1764705882353.
