What is x when 76 divided by x equals 54?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 76 and the quotient 54?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 76 ÷ 54 = 1.4074074074074

To prove this, let's compute 76 divided by 1.4074074074074: 76 1.4074074074074 = 54

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 76 divided by x gives a result of 54, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

76 x = 54

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 76 x x = 54 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 = 54 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 54: 76 54 = 54 x 54
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.4074074074074 = x (or x = 1.4074074074074 )

So, if the dividend is 76 and the quotient is 54, the divisor is 1.4074074074074.
