What is x when 25 divided by x equals 37?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 25 and the quotient 37?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 25 ÷ 37 = 0.67567567567568

To prove this, let's compute 25 divided by 0.67567567567568: 25 0.67567567567568 = 37

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 25 divided by x gives a result of 37, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

25 x = 37

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 25 x x = 37 x
  2. 25 x x is equivalent to x x × 25 , which simplifies to 1 × 25 (or just 25 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 25 = 37 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 37: 25 37 = 37 x 37
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.67567567567568 = x (or x = 0.67567567567568 )

So, if the dividend is 25 and the quotient is 37, the divisor is 0.67567567567568.
