What is x when 75 divided by x equals 38?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 75 ÷ 38 = 1.9736842105263

To prove this, let's compute 75 divided by 1.9736842105263: $\frac{75}{1.9736842105263} = 38$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 75 divided by x gives a result of 38, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{75}{x} = 38$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{75 x}{x} = 38 x$
$\frac{75 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 75$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 75$ (or just $75$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $75 = 38 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 38: $\frac{75}{38} = \frac{38 x}{38}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.9736842105263 = x$ (or $x = 1.9736842105263$ )

So, if the dividend is 75 and the quotient is 38, the divisor is 1.9736842105263.
