What is x when 63 divided by x equals 37?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 63 and the quotient 37?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 63 ÷ 37 = 1.7027027027027

To prove this, let's compute 63 divided by 1.7027027027027: 63 1.7027027027027 = 37

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 63 divided by x gives a result of 37, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

63 x = 37

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 63 x x = 37 x
  2. 63 x x is equivalent to x x × 63 , which simplifies to 1 × 63 (or just 63 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 63 = 37 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 37: 63 37 = 37 x 37
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.7027027027027 = x (or x = 1.7027027027027 )

So, if the dividend is 63 and the quotient is 37, the divisor is 1.7027027027027.
