What is x when 62 divided by x equals 57?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 62 and the quotient 57?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 62 ÷ 57 = 1.0877192982456

To prove this, let's compute 62 divided by 1.0877192982456: 62 1.0877192982456 = 57

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 62 divided by x gives a result of 57, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

62 x = 57

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 62 x x = 57 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 = 57 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 57: 62 57 = 57 x 57
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.0877192982456 = x (or x = 1.0877192982456 )

So, if the dividend is 62 and the quotient is 57, the divisor is 1.0877192982456.
