What is x when 86 divided by x equals 35?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 86 ÷ 35 = 2.4571428571429

To prove this, let's compute 86 divided by 2.4571428571429: $\frac{86}{2.4571428571429} = 35$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 86 divided by x gives a result of 35, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{86}{x} = 35$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{86 x}{x} = 35 x$
$\frac{86 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 86$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 86$ (or just $86$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $86 = 35 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 35: $\frac{86}{35} = \frac{35 x}{35}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.4571428571429 = x$ (or $x = 2.4571428571429$ )

So, if the dividend is 86 and the quotient is 35, the divisor is 2.4571428571429.
