What is x when 74 divided by x equals 54?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 74 ÷ 54 = 1.3703703703704

To prove this, let's compute 74 divided by 1.3703703703704: $\frac{74}{1.3703703703704} = 54$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 74 divided by x gives a result of 54, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{74}{x} = 54$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{74 x}{x} = 54 x$
$\frac{74 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 74$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 74$ (or just $74$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $74 = 54 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 54: $\frac{74}{54} = \frac{54 x}{54}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.3703703703704 = x$ (or $x = 1.3703703703704$ )

So, if the dividend is 74 and the quotient is 54, the divisor is 1.3703703703704.
