What is x when 47 divided by x equals 62?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 47 ÷ 62 = 0.75806451612903

To prove this, let's compute 47 divided by 0.75806451612903: $\frac{47}{0.75806451612903} = 62$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 47 divided by x gives a result of 62, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{47}{x} = 62$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{47 x}{x} = 62 x$
$\frac{47 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 47$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 47$ (or just $47$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $47 = 62 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 62: $\frac{47}{62} = \frac{62 x}{62}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.75806451612903 = x$ (or $x = 0.75806451612903$ )

So, if the dividend is 47 and the quotient is 62, the divisor is 0.75806451612903.
