What is x when 62 divided by x equals 58?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 62 and the quotient 58?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 62 ÷ 58 = 1.0689655172414

To prove this, let's compute 62 divided by 1.0689655172414: 62 1.0689655172414 = 58

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 62 divided by x gives a result of 58, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

62 x = 58

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 62 x x = 58 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 = 58 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 58: 62 58 = 58 x 58
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.0689655172414 = x (or x = 1.0689655172414 )

So, if the dividend is 62 and the quotient is 58, the divisor is 1.0689655172414.
