What is x when 73 divided by x equals 23?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 73 ÷ 23 = 3.1739130434783

To prove this, let's compute 73 divided by 3.1739130434783: $\frac{73}{3.1739130434783} = 23$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 73 divided by x gives a result of 23, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{73}{x} = 23$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{73 x}{x} = 23 x$
$\frac{73 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 73$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 73$ (or just $73$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $73 = 23 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 23: $\frac{73}{23} = \frac{23 x}{23}$
Which gives, after simplification: $3.1739130434783 = x$ (or $x = 3.1739130434783$ )

So, if the dividend is 73 and the quotient is 23, the divisor is 3.1739130434783.
