What is x when 73 divided by x equals 32?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 73 ÷ 32 = 2.28125

To prove this, let's compute 73 divided by 2.28125: $\frac{73}{2.28125} = 32$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 73 divided by x gives a result of 32, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{73}{x} = 32$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{73 x}{x} = 32 x$
$\frac{73 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 73$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 73$ (or just $73$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $73 = 32 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 32: $\frac{73}{32} = \frac{32 x}{32}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.28125 = x$ (or $x = 2.28125$ )

So, if the dividend is 73 and the quotient is 32, the divisor is 2.28125.
