What is x when 76 divided by x equals 59?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 76 ÷ 59 = 1.2881355932203

To prove this, let's compute 76 divided by 1.2881355932203: $\frac{76}{1.2881355932203} = 59$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 76 divided by x gives a result of 59, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{76}{x} = 59$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{76 x}{x} = 59 x$
$\frac{76 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 76$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 76$ (or just $76$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $76 = 59 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 59: $\frac{76}{59} = \frac{59 x}{59}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.2881355932203 = x$ (or $x = 1.2881355932203$ )

So, if the dividend is 76 and the quotient is 59, the divisor is 1.2881355932203.
