What is x when 35 divided by x equals 37?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 35 and the quotient 37?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 35 ÷ 37 = 0.94594594594595

To prove this, let's compute 35 divided by 0.94594594594595: 35 0.94594594594595 = 37

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 35 divided by x gives a result of 37, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

35 x = 37

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 35 x x = 37 x
  2. 35 x x is equivalent to x x × 35 , which simplifies to 1 × 35 (or just 35 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 35 = 37 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 37: 35 37 = 37 x 37
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.94594594594595 = x (or x = 0.94594594594595 )

So, if the dividend is 35 and the quotient is 37, the divisor is 0.94594594594595.
