What is x when 95 divided by x equals 74?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 95 and the quotient 74?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 95 ÷ 74 = 1.2837837837838

To prove this, let's compute 95 divided by 1.2837837837838: 95 1.2837837837838 = 74

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 95 divided by x gives a result of 74, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

95 x = 74

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 95 x x = 74 x
  2. 95 x x is equivalent to x x × 95 , which simplifies to 1 × 95 (or just 95 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 95 = 74 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 74: 95 74 = 74 x 74
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.2837837837838 = x (or x = 1.2837837837838 )

So, if the dividend is 95 and the quotient is 74, the divisor is 1.2837837837838.
