What is x when 80 divided by x equals 77?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 80 ÷ 77 = 1.038961038961

To prove this, let's compute 80 divided by 1.038961038961: $\frac{80}{1.038961038961} = 77$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 80 divided by x gives a result of 77, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{80}{x} = 77$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{80 x}{x} = 77 x$
$\frac{80 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 80$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 80$ (or just $80$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $80 = 77 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 77: $\frac{80}{77} = \frac{77 x}{77}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.038961038961 = x$ (or $x = 1.038961038961$ )

So, if the dividend is 80 and the quotient is 77, the divisor is 1.038961038961.
