What is x when 50 divided by x equals 74?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 50 ÷ 74 = 0.67567567567568

To prove this, let's compute 50 divided by 0.67567567567568: $\frac{50}{0.67567567567568} = 74$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 50 divided by x gives a result of 74, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{50}{x} = 74$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{50 x}{x} = 74 x$
$\frac{50 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 50$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 50$ (or just $50$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $50 = 74 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 74: $\frac{50}{74} = \frac{74 x}{74}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.67567567567568 = x$ (or $x = 0.67567567567568$ )

So, if the dividend is 50 and the quotient is 74, the divisor is 0.67567567567568.
