What is x when 73 divided by x equals 47?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 73 ÷ 47 = 1.5531914893617

To prove this, let's compute 73 divided by 1.5531914893617: $\frac{73}{1.5531914893617} = 47$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 73 divided by x gives a result of 47, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{73}{x} = 47$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{73 x}{x} = 47 x$
$\frac{73 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 73$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 73$ (or just $73$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $73 = 47 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 47: $\frac{73}{47} = \frac{47 x}{47}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.5531914893617 = x$ (or $x = 1.5531914893617$ )

So, if the dividend is 73 and the quotient is 47, the divisor is 1.5531914893617.
