What is x when 73 divided by x equals 95?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 73 and the quotient 95?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 73 ÷ 95 = 0.76842105263158

To prove this, let's compute 73 divided by 0.76842105263158: 73 0.76842105263158 = 95

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 73 divided by x gives a result of 95, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

73 x = 95

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 73 x x = 95 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 = 95 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 95: 73 95 = 95 x 95
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.76842105263158 = x (or x = 0.76842105263158 )

So, if the dividend is 73 and the quotient is 95, the divisor is 0.76842105263158.
