We present results from a study of $X(3872)\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}J/\ensuremath{\psi}$ decays produced via exclusive $B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}KX(3872)$ decays. We determine the mass to be ${M}_{X(3872)}=(3871.85\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.27(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.19(\mathrm{syst}))\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$, a 90% confidence level upper limit on the natural width of ${\ensuremath{\Gamma}}_{X(3872)}<1.2\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$, the product branching fraction $\mathcal{B}({B}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{+}X(3872))\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathcal{B}(X(3872)\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}J/\ensuremath{\psi})=(8.63\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.82(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.52(\mathrm{syst}))\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$, and a ratio of branching fractions $\mathcal{B}({B}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{0}X(3872))/\mathcal{B}({B}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{+}X(3872))=0.50\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.14(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.04(\mathrm{syst})$.
