What is x when 62 divided by x equals 54?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 62 and the quotient 54?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 62 ÷ 54 = 1.1481481481481

To prove this, let's compute 62 divided by 1.1481481481481: 62 1.1481481481481 = 54

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 62 divided by x gives a result of 54, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

62 x = 54

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 62 x x = 54 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 = 54 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 54: 62 54 = 54 x 54
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.1481481481481 = x (or x = 1.1481481481481 )

So, if the dividend is 62 and the quotient is 54, the divisor is 1.1481481481481.
