What is x when 76 divided by x equals 49?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 76 and the quotient 49?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 76 ÷ 49 = 1.5510204081633

To prove this, let's compute 76 divided by 1.5510204081633: 76 1.5510204081633 = 49

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 76 divided by x gives a result of 49, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

76 x = 49

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 76 x x = 49 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 = 49 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 49: 76 49 = 49 x 49
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.5510204081633 = x (or x = 1.5510204081633 )

So, if the dividend is 76 and the quotient is 49, the divisor is 1.5510204081633.
