What is x when 75 divided by x equals 82?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 75 and the quotient 82?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 75 ÷ 82 = 0.91463414634146

To prove this, let's compute 75 divided by 0.91463414634146: 75 0.91463414634146 = 82

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 75 divided by x gives a result of 82, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

75 x = 82

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 75 x x = 82 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 = 82 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 82: 75 82 = 82 x 82
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.91463414634146 = x (or x = 0.91463414634146 )

So, if the dividend is 75 and the quotient is 82, the divisor is 0.91463414634146.
