What is x when 62 divided by x equals 10?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 62 and the quotient 10?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 62 ÷ 10 = 6.2

To prove this, let's compute 62 divided by 6.2: 62 6.2 = 10

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 62 divided by x gives a result of 10, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

62 x = 10

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 62 x x = 10 x
  2. 62 x x is equivalent to x x × 62 , which simplifies to 1 × 62 (or just 62 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 62 = 10 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 10: 62 10 = 10 x 10
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 6.2 = x (or x = 6.2 )

So, if the dividend is 62 and the quotient is 10, the divisor is 6.2.
