What is x when 76 divided by x equals 61?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 76 and the quotient 61?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 76 ÷ 61 = 1.2459016393443

To prove this, let's compute 76 divided by 1.2459016393443: 76 1.2459016393443 = 61

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 76 divided by x gives a result of 61, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

76 x = 61

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 76 x x = 61 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 = 61 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 61: 76 61 = 61 x 61
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.2459016393443 = x (or x = 1.2459016393443 )

So, if the dividend is 76 and the quotient is 61, the divisor is 1.2459016393443.
