What is x when 56 divided by x equals 37?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 56 ÷ 37 = 1.5135135135135

To prove this, let's compute 56 divided by 1.5135135135135: $\frac{56}{1.5135135135135} = 37$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 56 divided by x gives a result of 37, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{56}{x} = 37$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{56 x}{x} = 37 x$
$\frac{56 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 56$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 56$ (or just $56$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $56 = 37 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 37: $\frac{56}{37} = \frac{37 x}{37}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.5135135135135 = x$ (or $x = 1.5135135135135$ )

So, if the dividend is 56 and the quotient is 37, the divisor is 1.5135135135135.
