What is x when 88 divided by x equals 75?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 88 ÷ 75 = 1.1733333333333

To prove this, let's compute 88 divided by 1.1733333333333: $\frac{88}{1.1733333333333} = 75$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 88 divided by x gives a result of 75, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{88}{x} = 75$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{88 x}{x} = 75 x$
$\frac{88 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 88$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 88$ (or just $88$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $88 = 75 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 75: $\frac{88}{75} = \frac{75 x}{75}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.1733333333333 = x$ (or $x = 1.1733333333333$ )

So, if the dividend is 88 and the quotient is 75, the divisor is 1.1733333333333.
