What is x when 74 divided by x equals 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 74 ÷ 97 = 0.76288659793814

To prove this, let's compute 74 divided by 0.76288659793814: $\frac{74}{0.76288659793814} = 97$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 74 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{74}{x} = 97$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{74 x}{x} = 97 x$
$\frac{74 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 74$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 74$ (or just $74$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $74 = 97 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 97: $\frac{74}{97} = \frac{97 x}{97}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.76288659793814 = x$ (or $x = 0.76288659793814$ )

So, if the dividend is 74 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.76288659793814.
