What is x when 35 divided by x equals 76?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 35 and the quotient 76?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 35 ÷ 76 = 0.46052631578947

To prove this, let's compute 35 divided by 0.46052631578947: 35 0.46052631578947 = 76

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 35 divided by x gives a result of 76, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

35 x = 76

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 35 x x = 76 x
  2. 35 x x is equivalent to x x × 35 , which simplifies to 1 × 35 (or just 35 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 35 = 76 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 76: 35 76 = 76 x 76
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.46052631578947 = x (or x = 0.46052631578947 )

So, if the dividend is 35 and the quotient is 76, the divisor is 0.46052631578947.
