What is x when 37 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 37 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 37 ÷ 19 = 1.9473684210526

To prove this, let's compute 37 divided by 1.9473684210526: 37 1.9473684210526 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 37 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

37 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 37 x x = 19 x
  2. 37 x x is equivalent to x x × 37 , which simplifies to 1 × 37 (or just 37 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 37 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 37 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.9473684210526 = x (or x = 1.9473684210526 )

So, if the dividend is 37 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 1.9473684210526.
