What is x when 76 divided by x equals 52?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 76 and the quotient 52?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 76 ÷ 52 = 1.4615384615385

To prove this, let's compute 76 divided by 1.4615384615385: 76 1.4615384615385 = 52

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 76 divided by x gives a result of 52, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

76 x = 52

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 76 x x = 52 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 = 52 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 52: 76 52 = 52 x 52
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.4615384615385 = x (or x = 1.4615384615385 )

So, if the dividend is 76 and the quotient is 52, the divisor is 1.4615384615385.
