What is x when 37 divided by x equals 4?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 37 and the quotient 4?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 37 ÷ 4 = 9.25

To prove this, let's compute 37 divided by 9.25: 37 9.25 = 4

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 37 divided by x gives a result of 4, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

37 x = 4

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 37 x x = 4 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 = 4 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 4: 37 4 = 4 x 4
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 9.25 = x (or x = 9.25 )

So, if the dividend is 37 and the quotient is 4, the divisor is 9.25.
