What is x when 75 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 75 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 75 ÷ 11 = 6.8181818181818

To prove this, let's compute 75 divided by 6.8181818181818: 75 6.8181818181818 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 75 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

75 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 75 x x = 11 x
  2. 75 x x is equivalent to x x × 75 , which simplifies to 1 × 75 (or just 75 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 75 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 75 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 6.8181818181818 = x (or x = 6.8181818181818 )

So, if the dividend is 75 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 6.8181818181818.
