What is x when 76 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 76 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 76 ÷ 11 = 6.9090909090909

To prove this, let's compute 76 divided by 6.9090909090909: 76 6.9090909090909 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 76 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

76 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 76 x x = 11 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 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 76 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 6.9090909090909 = x (or x = 6.9090909090909 )

So, if the dividend is 76 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 6.9090909090909.
