What is x when 77 divided by x equals 52?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 77 ÷ 52 = 1.4807692307692

To prove this, let's compute 77 divided by 1.4807692307692: $\frac{77}{1.4807692307692} = 52$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 77 divided by x gives a result of 52, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{77}{x} = 52$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{77 x}{x} = 52 x$
$\frac{77 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 77$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 77$ (or just $77$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $77 = 52 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 52: $\frac{77}{52} = \frac{52 x}{52}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.4807692307692 = x$ (or $x = 1.4807692307692$ )

So, if the dividend is 77 and the quotient is 52, the divisor is 1.4807692307692.
