What is x when 71 divided by x equals 74?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 71 ÷ 74 = 0.95945945945946

To prove this, let's compute 71 divided by 0.95945945945946: $\frac{71}{0.95945945945946} = 74$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 71 divided by x gives a result of 74, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{71}{x} = 74$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{71 x}{x} = 74 x$
$\frac{71 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 71$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 71$ (or just $71$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $71 = 74 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 74: $\frac{71}{74} = \frac{74 x}{74}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.95945945945946 = x$ (or $x = 0.95945945945946$ )

So, if the dividend is 71 and the quotient is 74, the divisor is 0.95945945945946.
