What is x when 82 divided by x equals 75?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 82 and the quotient 75?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 82 ÷ 75 = 1.0933333333333

To prove this, let's compute 82 divided by 1.0933333333333: 82 1.0933333333333 = 75

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 82 divided by x gives a result of 75, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

82 x = 75

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 82 x x = 75 x
  2. 82 x x is equivalent to x x × 82 , which simplifies to 1 × 82 (or just 82 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 82 = 75 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 75: 82 75 = 75 x 75
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.0933333333333 = x (or x = 1.0933333333333 )

So, if the dividend is 82 and the quotient is 75, the divisor is 1.0933333333333.
