What is x when 73 divided by x equals 36?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 73 ÷ 36 = 2.0277777777778

To prove this, let's compute 73 divided by 2.0277777777778: $\frac{73}{2.0277777777778} = 36$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 73 divided by x gives a result of 36, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{73}{x} = 36$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{73 x}{x} = 36 x$
$\frac{73 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 73$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 73$ (or just $73$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $73 = 36 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 36: $\frac{73}{36} = \frac{36 x}{36}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.0277777777778 = x$ (or $x = 2.0277777777778$ )

So, if the dividend is 73 and the quotient is 36, the divisor is 2.0277777777778.
