What is x when 74 divided by x equals 76?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 74 ÷ 76 = 0.97368421052632

To prove this, let's compute 74 divided by 0.97368421052632: $\frac{74}{0.97368421052632} = 76$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 74 divided by x gives a result of 76, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{74}{x} = 76$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{74 x}{x} = 76 x$
$\frac{74 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 74$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 74$ (or just $74$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $74 = 76 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 76: $\frac{74}{76} = \frac{76 x}{76}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.97368421052632 = x$ (or $x = 0.97368421052632$ )

So, if the dividend is 74 and the quotient is 76, the divisor is 0.97368421052632.
