What is x when 74 divided by x equals 55?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 74 ÷ 55 = 1.3454545454545

To prove this, let's compute 74 divided by 1.3454545454545: $\frac{74}{1.3454545454545} = 55$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 74 divided by x gives a result of 55, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{74}{x} = 55$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{74 x}{x} = 55 x$
$\frac{74 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 74$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 74$ (or just $74$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $74 = 55 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 55: $\frac{74}{55} = \frac{55 x}{55}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.3454545454545 = x$ (or $x = 1.3454545454545$ )

So, if the dividend is 74 and the quotient is 55, the divisor is 1.3454545454545.
