What is x when 22 divided by x equals 73?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 22 and the quotient 73?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 22 ÷ 73 = 0.3013698630137

To prove this, let's compute 22 divided by 0.3013698630137: 22 0.3013698630137 = 73

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 22 divided by x gives a result of 73, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

22 x = 73

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 22 x x = 73 x
  2. 22 x x is equivalent to x x × 22 , which simplifies to 1 × 22 (or just 22 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 22 = 73 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 73: 22 73 = 73 x 73
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.3013698630137 = x (or x = 0.3013698630137 )

So, if the dividend is 22 and the quotient is 73, the divisor is 0.3013698630137.
