What is x when 76 divided by x equals 53?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 76 and the quotient 53?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 76 ÷ 53 = 1.4339622641509

To prove this, let's compute 76 divided by 1.4339622641509: 76 1.4339622641509 = 53

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 76 divided by x gives a result of 53, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

76 x = 53

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 76 x x = 53 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 = 53 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 53: 76 53 = 53 x 53
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.4339622641509 = x (or x = 1.4339622641509 )

So, if the dividend is 76 and the quotient is 53, the divisor is 1.4339622641509.
