What is x when 74 divided by x equals 66?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 74 ÷ 66 = 1.1212121212121

To prove this, let's compute 74 divided by 1.1212121212121: $\frac{74}{1.1212121212121} = 66$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 74 divided by x gives a result of 66, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{74}{x} = 66$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{74 x}{x} = 66 x$
$\frac{74 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 74$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 74$ (or just $74$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $74 = 66 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 66: $\frac{74}{66} = \frac{66 x}{66}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.1212121212121 = x$ (or $x = 1.1212121212121$ )

So, if the dividend is 74 and the quotient is 66, the divisor is 1.1212121212121.
