What is x when 62 divided by x equals 56?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 62 ÷ 56 = 1.1071428571429

To prove this, let's compute 62 divided by 1.1071428571429: $\frac{62}{1.1071428571429} = 56$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 62 divided by x gives a result of 56, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{62}{x} = 56$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{62 x}{x} = 56 x$
$\frac{62 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 62$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 62$ (or just $62$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $62 = 56 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 56: $\frac{62}{56} = \frac{56 x}{56}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.1071428571429 = x$ (or $x = 1.1071428571429$ )

So, if the dividend is 62 and the quotient is 56, the divisor is 1.1071428571429.
