What is x when 49 divided by x equals 73?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 49 ÷ 73 = 0.67123287671233

To prove this, let's compute 49 divided by 0.67123287671233: $\frac{49}{0.67123287671233} = 73$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 49 divided by x gives a result of 73, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{49}{x} = 73$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{49 x}{x} = 73 x$
$\frac{49 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 49$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 49$ (or just $49$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $49 = 73 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 73: $\frac{49}{73} = \frac{73 x}{73}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.67123287671233 = x$ (or $x = 0.67123287671233$ )

So, if the dividend is 49 and the quotient is 73, the divisor is 0.67123287671233.
