What is x when 47 divided by x equals 76?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 47 ÷ 76 = 0.61842105263158

To prove this, let's compute 47 divided by 0.61842105263158: $\frac{47}{0.61842105263158} = 76$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 47 divided by x gives a result of 76, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{47}{x} = 76$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{47 x}{x} = 76 x$
$\frac{47 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 47$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 47$ (or just $47$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $47 = 76 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 76: $\frac{47}{76} = \frac{76 x}{76}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.61842105263158 = x$ (or $x = 0.61842105263158$ )

So, if the dividend is 47 and the quotient is 76, the divisor is 0.61842105263158.
