What is x when 76 divided by x equals 74?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 76 ÷ 74 = 1.027027027027

To prove this, let's compute 76 divided by 1.027027027027: $\frac{76}{1.027027027027} = 74$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 76 divided by x gives a result of 74, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{76}{x} = 74$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{76 x}{x} = 74 x$
$\frac{76 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 76$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 76$ (or just $76$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $76 = 74 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 74: $\frac{76}{74} = \frac{74 x}{74}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.027027027027 = x$ (or $x = 1.027027027027$ )

So, if the dividend is 76 and the quotient is 74, the divisor is 1.027027027027.
