What is x when 37 divided by x equals 92?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 37 and the quotient 92?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 37 ÷ 92 = 0.40217391304348

To prove this, let's compute 37 divided by 0.40217391304348: 37 0.40217391304348 = 92

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 37 divided by x gives a result of 92, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

37 x = 92

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 37 x x = 92 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 = 92 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 92: 37 92 = 92 x 92
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.40217391304348 = x (or x = 0.40217391304348 )

So, if the dividend is 37 and the quotient is 92, the divisor is 0.40217391304348.
