What is x when 37 divided by x equals 83?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 37 and the quotient 83?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 37 ÷ 83 = 0.44578313253012

To prove this, let's compute 37 divided by 0.44578313253012: 37 0.44578313253012 = 83

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 37 divided by x gives a result of 83, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

37 x = 83

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 37 x x = 83 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 = 83 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 83: 37 83 = 83 x 83
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.44578313253012 = x (or x = 0.44578313253012 )

So, if the dividend is 37 and the quotient is 83, the divisor is 0.44578313253012.
