What is x when 73 divided by x equals 54?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 73 and the quotient 54?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 73 ÷ 54 = 1.3518518518519

To prove this, let's compute 73 divided by 1.3518518518519: 73 1.3518518518519 = 54

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 73 divided by x gives a result of 54, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

73 x = 54

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 73 x x = 54 x
  2. 73 x x is equivalent to x x × 73 , which simplifies to 1 × 73 (or just 73 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 73 = 54 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 54: 73 54 = 54 x 54
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.3518518518519 = x (or x = 1.3518518518519 )

So, if the dividend is 73 and the quotient is 54, the divisor is 1.3518518518519.
