What is x when 47 divided by x equals 73?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 47 ÷ 73 = 0.64383561643836

To prove this, let's compute 47 divided by 0.64383561643836: $\frac{47}{0.64383561643836} = 73$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 47 divided by x gives a result of 73, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{47}{x} = 73$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{47 x}{x} = 73 x$
$\frac{47 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 47$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 47$ (or just $47$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $47 = 73 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 73: $\frac{47}{73} = \frac{73 x}{73}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.64383561643836 = x$ (or $x = 0.64383561643836$ )

So, if the dividend is 47 and the quotient is 73, the divisor is 0.64383561643836.
