What is x when 76 divided by x equals 39?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 76 and the quotient 39?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 76 ÷ 39 = 1.9487179487179

To prove this, let's compute 76 divided by 1.9487179487179: 76 1.9487179487179 = 39

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 76 divided by x gives a result of 39, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

76 x = 39

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 76 x x = 39 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 = 39 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 39: 76 39 = 39 x 39
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.9487179487179 = x (or x = 1.9487179487179 )

So, if the dividend is 76 and the quotient is 39, the divisor is 1.9487179487179.
