What is x when 7 divided by x equals 62?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 7 and the quotient 62?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 7 ÷ 62 = 0.11290322580645

To prove this, let's compute 7 divided by 0.11290322580645: 7 0.11290322580645 = 62

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 7 divided by x gives a result of 62, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

7 x = 62

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 7 x x = 62 x
  2. 7 x x is equivalent to x x × 7 , which simplifies to 1 × 7 (or just 7 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 7 = 62 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 62: 7 62 = 62 x 62
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.11290322580645 = x (or x = 0.11290322580645 )

So, if the dividend is 7 and the quotient is 62, the divisor is 0.11290322580645.
