What is x when 62 divided by x equals 77?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 62 and the quotient 77?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 62 ÷ 77 = 0.80519480519481

To prove this, let's compute 62 divided by 0.80519480519481: 62 0.80519480519481 = 77

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 62 divided by x gives a result of 77, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

62 x = 77

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 62 x x = 77 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 = 77 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 77: 62 77 = 77 x 77
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.80519480519481 = x (or x = 0.80519480519481 )

So, if the dividend is 62 and the quotient is 77, the divisor is 0.80519480519481.
