What is x when 73 divided by x equals 93?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 73 and the quotient 93?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 73 ÷ 93 = 0.78494623655914

To prove this, let's compute 73 divided by 0.78494623655914: 73 0.78494623655914 = 93

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 73 divided by x gives a result of 93, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

73 x = 93

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 73 x x = 93 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 = 93 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 93: 73 93 = 93 x 93
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.78494623655914 = x (or x = 0.78494623655914 )

So, if the dividend is 73 and the quotient is 93, the divisor is 0.78494623655914.
