What is x when 55 divided by x equals 73?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 55 ÷ 73 = 0.75342465753425

To prove this, let's compute 55 divided by 0.75342465753425: $\frac{55}{0.75342465753425} = 73$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 55 divided by x gives a result of 73, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{55}{x} = 73$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{55 x}{x} = 73 x$
$\frac{55 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 55$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 55$ (or just $55$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $55 = 73 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 73: $\frac{55}{73} = \frac{73 x}{73}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.75342465753425 = x$ (or $x = 0.75342465753425$ )

So, if the dividend is 55 and the quotient is 73, the divisor is 0.75342465753425.
