What is x when 76 divided by x equals 10?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 76 and the quotient 10?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 76 ÷ 10 = 7.6

To prove this, let's compute 76 divided by 7.6: 76 7.6 = 10

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 76 divided by x gives a result of 10, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

76 x = 10

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 76 x x = 10 x
  2. 76 x x is equivalent to x x × 76 , which simplifies to 1 × 76 (or just 76 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 76 = 10 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 10: 76 10 = 10 x 10
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 7.6 = x (or x = 7.6 )

So, if the dividend is 76 and the quotient is 10, the divisor is 7.6.
