What is x when 62 divided by x equals 73?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 62 and the quotient 73?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 62 ÷ 73 = 0.84931506849315

To prove this, let's compute 62 divided by 0.84931506849315: 62 0.84931506849315 = 73

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 62 divided by x gives a result of 73, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

62 x = 73

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 62 x x = 73 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 = 73 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 73: 62 73 = 73 x 73
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.84931506849315 = x (or x = 0.84931506849315 )

So, if the dividend is 62 and the quotient is 73, the divisor is 0.84931506849315.
