What is x when 74 divided by x equals 94?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 74 and the quotient 94?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 74 ÷ 94 = 0.78723404255319

To prove this, let's compute 74 divided by 0.78723404255319: 74 0.78723404255319 = 94

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 74 divided by x gives a result of 94, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

74 x = 94

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 74 x x = 94 x
  2. 74 x x is equivalent to x x × 74 , which simplifies to 1 × 74 (or just 74 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 74 = 94 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 94: 74 94 = 94 x 94
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.78723404255319 = x (or x = 0.78723404255319 )

So, if the dividend is 74 and the quotient is 94, the divisor is 0.78723404255319.
