What is x when 64 divided by x equals 37?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 64 and the quotient 37?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 64 ÷ 37 = 1.7297297297297

To prove this, let's compute 64 divided by 1.7297297297297: 64 1.7297297297297 = 37

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 64 divided by x gives a result of 37, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

64 x = 37

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 64 x x = 37 x
  2. 64 x x is equivalent to x x × 64 , which simplifies to 1 × 64 (or just 64 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 64 = 37 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 37: 64 37 = 37 x 37
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.7297297297297 = x (or x = 1.7297297297297 )

So, if the dividend is 64 and the quotient is 37, the divisor is 1.7297297297297.
