What is x when 73 divided by x equals 28?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 73 ÷ 28 = 2.6071428571429

To prove this, let's compute 73 divided by 2.6071428571429: $\frac{73}{2.6071428571429} = 28$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 73 divided by x gives a result of 28, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{73}{x} = 28$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{73 x}{x} = 28 x$
$\frac{73 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 73$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 73$ (or just $73$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $73 = 28 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 28: $\frac{73}{28} = \frac{28 x}{28}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.6071428571429 = x$ (or $x = 2.6071428571429$ )

So, if the dividend is 73 and the quotient is 28, the divisor is 2.6071428571429.
