What is x when 62 divided by x equals 22?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 62 and the quotient 22?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 62 ÷ 22 = 2.8181818181818

To prove this, let's compute 62 divided by 2.8181818181818: 62 2.8181818181818 = 22

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 62 divided by x gives a result of 22, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

62 x = 22

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 62 x x = 22 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 = 22 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 22: 62 22 = 22 x 22
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.8181818181818 = x (or x = 2.8181818181818 )

So, if the dividend is 62 and the quotient is 22, the divisor is 2.8181818181818.
