What is x when 36 divided by x equals 62?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 36 ÷ 62 = 0.58064516129032

To prove this, let's compute 36 divided by 0.58064516129032: $\frac{36}{0.58064516129032} = 62$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 36 divided by x gives a result of 62, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{36}{x} = 62$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{36 x}{x} = 62 x$
$\frac{36 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 36$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 36$ (or just $36$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $36 = 62 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 62: $\frac{36}{62} = \frac{62 x}{62}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.58064516129032 = x$ (or $x = 0.58064516129032$ )

So, if the dividend is 36 and the quotient is 62, the divisor is 0.58064516129032.
