What is x when 64 divided by x equals 73?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 64 and the quotient 73?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 64 ÷ 73 = 0.87671232876712

To prove this, let's compute 64 divided by 0.87671232876712: 64 0.87671232876712 = 73

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 64 divided by x gives a result of 73, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

64 x = 73

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 64 x x = 73 x
  2. 64 x x is equivalent to x x × 64 , which simplifies to 1 × 64 (or just 64 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 64 = 73 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 73: 64 73 = 73 x 73
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.87671232876712 = x (or x = 0.87671232876712 )

So, if the dividend is 64 and the quotient is 73, the divisor is 0.87671232876712.
