What is x when 15 divided by x equals 73?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 15 ÷ 73 = 0.20547945205479

To prove this, let's compute 15 divided by 0.20547945205479: $\frac{15}{0.20547945205479} = 73$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 15 divided by x gives a result of 73, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{15}{x} = 73$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{15 x}{x} = 73 x$
$\frac{15 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 15$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 15$ (or just $15$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $15 = 73 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 73: $\frac{15}{73} = \frac{73 x}{73}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.20547945205479 = x$ (or $x = 0.20547945205479$ )

So, if the dividend is 15 and the quotient is 73, the divisor is 0.20547945205479.
