What is x when 75 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 75 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 75 ÷ 19 = 3.9473684210526

To prove this, let's compute 75 divided by 3.9473684210526: 75 3.9473684210526 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 75 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

75 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 75 x x = 19 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 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 75 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.9473684210526 = x (or x = 3.9473684210526 )

So, if the dividend is 75 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 3.9473684210526.
