What is x when 69 divided by x equals 37?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 69 and the quotient 37?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 69 ÷ 37 = 1.8648648648649

To prove this, let's compute 69 divided by 1.8648648648649: 69 1.8648648648649 = 37

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 69 divided by x gives a result of 37, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

69 x = 37

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 69 x x = 37 x
  2. 69 x x is equivalent to x x × 69 , which simplifies to 1 × 69 (or just 69 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 69 = 37 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 37: 69 37 = 37 x 37
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.8648648648649 = x (or x = 1.8648648648649 )

So, if the dividend is 69 and the quotient is 37, the divisor is 1.8648648648649.
