What is x when 76 divided by x equals 37?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 76 and the quotient 37?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 76 ÷ 37 = 2.0540540540541

To prove this, let's compute 76 divided by 2.0540540540541: 76 2.0540540540541 = 37

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 76 divided by x gives a result of 37, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

76 x = 37

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 76 x x = 37 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 = 37 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 37: 76 37 = 37 x 37
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.0540540540541 = x (or x = 2.0540540540541 )

So, if the dividend is 76 and the quotient is 37, the divisor is 2.0540540540541.
