What is x when 74 divided by x equals 41?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 74 ÷ 41 = 1.8048780487805

To prove this, let's compute 74 divided by 1.8048780487805: $\frac{74}{1.8048780487805} = 41$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 74 divided by x gives a result of 41, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{74}{x} = 41$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{74 x}{x} = 41 x$
$\frac{74 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 74$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 74$ (or just $74$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $74 = 41 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 41: $\frac{74}{41} = \frac{41 x}{41}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.8048780487805 = x$ (or $x = 1.8048780487805$ )

So, if the dividend is 74 and the quotient is 41, the divisor is 1.8048780487805.
