What is x when 73 divided by x equals 51?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 73 ÷ 51 = 1.4313725490196

To prove this, let's compute 73 divided by 1.4313725490196: $\frac{73}{1.4313725490196} = 51$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 73 divided by x gives a result of 51, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{73}{x} = 51$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{73 x}{x} = 51 x$
$\frac{73 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 73$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 73$ (or just $73$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $73 = 51 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 51: $\frac{73}{51} = \frac{51 x}{51}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.4313725490196 = x$ (or $x = 1.4313725490196$ )

So, if the dividend is 73 and the quotient is 51, the divisor is 1.4313725490196.
