What value divided by 73 equals 9?

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 73 gives a result of 9 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{x}{73}=9$

1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 73: $\frac{73x}{\mathrm{73}}=73\times 9$
2. $\frac{73x}{\mathrm{73}}$ is equivalent to $\frac{73}{\mathrm{73}}x$, which simplifies to $1x$ (or just $x$).
3. Thus: $x=73\times 9=657$

So, if the divisor is 73 and the quotient is 9, the dividend is 657.
