What is x when 76 divided by x equals 29?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 76 and the quotient 29?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 76 ÷ 29 = 2.6206896551724

To prove this, let's compute 76 divided by 2.6206896551724: 76 2.6206896551724 = 29

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 76 divided by x gives a result of 29, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

76 x = 29

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 76 x x = 29 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 = 29 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 29: 76 29 = 29 x 29
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.6206896551724 = x (or x = 2.6206896551724 )

So, if the dividend is 76 and the quotient is 29, the divisor is 2.6206896551724.
