What is x when 75 divided by x equals 6?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 75 ÷ 6 = 12.5

To prove this, let's compute 75 divided by 12.5: $\frac{75}{12.5} = 6$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 75 divided by x gives a result of 6, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{75}{x} = 6$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{75 x}{x} = 6 x$
$\frac{75 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 75$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 75$ (or just $75$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $75 = 6 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 6: $\frac{75}{6} = \frac{6 x}{6}$
Which gives, after simplification: $12.5 = x$ (or $x = 12.5$ )

So, if the dividend is 75 and the quotient is 6, the divisor is 12.5.
