What is x when 47 divided by x equals 37?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 47 ÷ 37 = 1.2702702702703

To prove this, let's compute 47 divided by 1.2702702702703: $\frac{47}{1.2702702702703} = 37$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 47 divided by x gives a result of 37, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{47}{x} = 37$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{47 x}{x} = 37 x$
$\frac{47 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 47$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 47$ (or just $47$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $47 = 37 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 37: $\frac{47}{37} = \frac{37 x}{37}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.2702702702703 = x$ (or $x = 1.2702702702703$ )

So, if the dividend is 47 and the quotient is 37, the divisor is 1.2702702702703.
