What is x when 60 divided by x equals 37?
In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 60 and the quotient 37?
To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 60 ÷ 37 = 1.6216216216216
To prove this, let's compute 60 divided by 1.6216216216216:
How does it work?
Asking what the value of x could be when 60 divided by x gives a result of 37, is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- Multiply both sides by x:
 - is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
 - Thus, the equation becomes:
 - To find x, divide both sides by 37:
 - Which gives, after simplification: (or )
 
So, if the dividend is 60 and the quotient is 37, the divisor is 1.6216216216216.
