What is x when 73 divided by x equals 59?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 73 ÷ 59 = 1.2372881355932

To prove this, let's compute 73 divided by 1.2372881355932: $\frac{73}{1.2372881355932} = 59$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 73 divided by x gives a result of 59, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{73}{x} = 59$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{73 x}{x} = 59 x$
$\frac{73 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 73$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 73$ (or just $73$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $73 = 59 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 59: $\frac{73}{59} = \frac{59 x}{59}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.2372881355932 = x$ (or $x = 1.2372881355932$ )

So, if the dividend is 73 and the quotient is 59, the divisor is 1.2372881355932.
