What is x when 75 divided by x equals 97?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 75 and the quotient 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 75 ÷ 97 = 0.77319587628866

To prove this, let's compute 75 divided by 0.77319587628866: 75 0.77319587628866 = 97

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 75 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

75 x = 97

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 75 x x = 97 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 = 97 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 97: 75 97 = 97 x 97
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.77319587628866 = x (or x = 0.77319587628866 )

So, if the dividend is 75 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.77319587628866.
