What is x when 37 divided by x equals 62?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 37 and the quotient 62?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 37 ÷ 62 = 0.59677419354839

To prove this, let's compute 37 divided by 0.59677419354839: 37 0.59677419354839 = 62

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 37 divided by x gives a result of 62, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

37 x = 62

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 37 x x = 62 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 = 62 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 62: 37 62 = 62 x 62
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.59677419354839 = x (or x = 0.59677419354839 )

So, if the dividend is 37 and the quotient is 62, the divisor is 0.59677419354839.
