What is x when 62 divided by x equals 8?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 62 ÷ 8 = 7.75

To prove this, let's compute 62 divided by 7.75: $\frac{62}{7.75} = 8$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 62 divided by x gives a result of 8, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{62}{x} = 8$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{62 x}{x} = 8 x$
$\frac{62 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 62$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 62$ (or just $62$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $62 = 8 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 8: $\frac{62}{8} = \frac{8 x}{8}$
Which gives, after simplification: $7.75 = x$ (or $x = 7.75$ )

So, if the dividend is 62 and the quotient is 8, the divisor is 7.75.
