What is x when 73 divided by x equals 84?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 73 ÷ 84 = 0.86904761904762

To prove this, let's compute 73 divided by 0.86904761904762: $\frac{73}{0.86904761904762} = 84$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 73 divided by x gives a result of 84, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{73}{x} = 84$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{73 x}{x} = 84 x$
$\frac{73 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 73$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 73$ (or just $73$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $73 = 84 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 84: $\frac{73}{84} = \frac{84 x}{84}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.86904761904762 = x$ (or $x = 0.86904761904762$ )

So, if the dividend is 73 and the quotient is 84, the divisor is 0.86904761904762.
