What is x when 68 divided by x equals 37?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 68 and the quotient 37?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 68 ÷ 37 = 1.8378378378378

To prove this, let's compute 68 divided by 1.8378378378378: 68 1.8378378378378 = 37

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 68 divided by x gives a result of 37, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

68 x = 37

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 68 x x = 37 x
  2. 68 x x is equivalent to x x × 68 , which simplifies to 1 × 68 (or just 68 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 68 = 37 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 37: 68 37 = 37 x 37
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.8378378378378 = x (or x = 1.8378378378378 )

So, if the dividend is 68 and the quotient is 37, the divisor is 1.8378378378378.
