What is x when 52 divided by x equals 73?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 52 ÷ 73 = 0.71232876712329

To prove this, let's compute 52 divided by 0.71232876712329: $\frac{52}{0.71232876712329} = 73$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 52 divided by x gives a result of 73, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{52}{x} = 73$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{52 x}{x} = 73 x$
$\frac{52 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 52$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 52$ (or just $52$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $52 = 73 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 73: $\frac{52}{73} = \frac{73 x}{73}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.71232876712329 = x$ (or $x = 0.71232876712329$ )

So, if the dividend is 52 and the quotient is 73, the divisor is 0.71232876712329.
