What is x when 62 divided by x equals 97?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 62 and the quotient 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 62 ÷ 97 = 0.63917525773196

To prove this, let's compute 62 divided by 0.63917525773196: 62 0.63917525773196 = 97

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 62 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

62 x = 97

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 62 x x = 97 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 = 97 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 97: 62 97 = 97 x 97
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.63917525773196 = x (or x = 0.63917525773196 )

So, if the dividend is 62 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.63917525773196.
