What is x when 73 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 73 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 73 ÷ 19 = 3.8421052631579

To prove this, let's compute 73 divided by 3.8421052631579: 73 3.8421052631579 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 73 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

73 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 73 x x = 19 x
  2. 73 x x is equivalent to x x × 73 , which simplifies to 1 × 73 (or just 73 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 73 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 73 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.8421052631579 = x (or x = 3.8421052631579 )

So, if the dividend is 73 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 3.8421052631579.
