What is x when 74 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 74 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 74 ÷ 19 = 3.8947368421053

To prove this, let's compute 74 divided by 3.8947368421053: 74 3.8947368421053 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 74 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

74 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 74 x x = 19 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 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 74 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.8947368421053 = x (or x = 3.8947368421053 )

So, if the dividend is 74 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 3.8947368421053.
