What is x when 62 divided by x equals 82?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 62 ÷ 82 = 0.75609756097561

To prove this, let's compute 62 divided by 0.75609756097561: $\frac{62}{0.75609756097561} = 82$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 62 divided by x gives a result of 82, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{62}{x} = 82$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{62 x}{x} = 82 x$
$\frac{62 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 62$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 62$ (or just $62$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $62 = 82 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 82: $\frac{62}{82} = \frac{82 x}{82}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.75609756097561 = x$ (or $x = 0.75609756097561$ )

So, if the dividend is 62 and the quotient is 82, the divisor is 0.75609756097561.
