What is x when 65 divided by x equals 62?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 65 ÷ 62 = 1.0483870967742

To prove this, let's compute 65 divided by 1.0483870967742: $\frac{65}{1.0483870967742} = 62$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 65 divided by x gives a result of 62, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{65}{x} = 62$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{65 x}{x} = 62 x$
$\frac{65 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 65$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 65$ (or just $65$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $65 = 62 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 62: $\frac{65}{62} = \frac{62 x}{62}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.0483870967742 = x$ (or $x = 1.0483870967742$ )

So, if the dividend is 65 and the quotient is 62, the divisor is 1.0483870967742.
