What is x when 74 divided by x equals 77?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 74 ÷ 77 = 0.96103896103896

To prove this, let's compute 74 divided by 0.96103896103896: $\frac{74}{0.96103896103896} = 77$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 74 divided by x gives a result of 77, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{74}{x} = 77$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{74 x}{x} = 77 x$
$\frac{74 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 74$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 74$ (or just $74$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $74 = 77 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 77: $\frac{74}{77} = \frac{77 x}{77}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.96103896103896 = x$ (or $x = 0.96103896103896$ )

So, if the dividend is 74 and the quotient is 77, the divisor is 0.96103896103896.
