What is x when 76 divided by x equals 17?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 76 ÷ 17 = 4.4705882352941

To prove this, let's compute 76 divided by 4.4705882352941: $\frac{76}{4.4705882352941} = 17$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 76 divided by x gives a result of 17, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{76}{x} = 17$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{76 x}{x} = 17 x$
$\frac{76 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 76$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 76$ (or just $76$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $76 = 17 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 17: $\frac{76}{17} = \frac{17 x}{17}$
Which gives, after simplification: $4.4705882352941 = x$ (or $x = 4.4705882352941$ )

So, if the dividend is 76 and the quotient is 17, the divisor is 4.4705882352941.
