What is x when 73 divided by x equals 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 73 ÷ 97 = 0.75257731958763

To prove this, let's compute 73 divided by 0.75257731958763: $\frac{73}{0.75257731958763} = 97$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 73 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{73}{x} = 97$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{73 x}{x} = 97 x$
$\frac{73 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 73$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 73$ (or just $73$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $73 = 97 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 97: $\frac{73}{97} = \frac{97 x}{97}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.75257731958763 = x$ (or $x = 0.75257731958763$ )

So, if the dividend is 73 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.75257731958763.
