What is x when 19 divided by x equals 62?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 19 and the quotient 62?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 19 ÷ 62 = 0.30645161290323

To prove this, let's compute 19 divided by 0.30645161290323: 19 0.30645161290323 = 62

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 19 divided by x gives a result of 62, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

19 x = 62

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 19 x x = 62 x
  2. 19 x x is equivalent to x x × 19 , which simplifies to 1 × 19 (or just 19 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 19 = 62 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 62: 19 62 = 62 x 62
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.30645161290323 = x (or x = 0.30645161290323 )

So, if the dividend is 19 and the quotient is 62, the divisor is 0.30645161290323.
