What is x when 70 divided by x equals 62?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 70 ÷ 62 = 1.1290322580645

To prove this, let's compute 70 divided by 1.1290322580645: $\frac{70}{1.1290322580645} = 62$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 70 divided by x gives a result of 62, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{70}{x} = 62$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{70 x}{x} = 62 x$
$\frac{70 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 70$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 70$ (or just $70$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $70 = 62 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 62: $\frac{70}{62} = \frac{62 x}{62}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.1290322580645 = x$ (or $x = 1.1290322580645$ )

So, if the dividend is 70 and the quotient is 62, the divisor is 1.1290322580645.
