What is x when 74 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 74 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 74 ÷ 11 = 6.7272727272727

To prove this, let's compute 74 divided by 6.7272727272727: 74 6.7272727272727 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 74 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

74 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 74 x x = 11 x
  2. 74 x x is equivalent to x x × 74 , which simplifies to 1 × 74 (or just 74 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 74 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 74 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 6.7272727272727 = x (or x = 6.7272727272727 )

So, if the dividend is 74 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 6.7272727272727.
