What is x when 82 divided by x equals 62?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 82 and the quotient 62?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 82 ÷ 62 = 1.3225806451613

To prove this, let's compute 82 divided by 1.3225806451613: 82 1.3225806451613 = 62

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 82 divided by x gives a result of 62, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

82 x = 62

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 82 x x = 62 x
  2. 82 x x is equivalent to x x × 82 , which simplifies to 1 × 82 (or just 82 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 82 = 62 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 62: 82 62 = 62 x 62
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.3225806451613 = x (or x = 1.3225806451613 )

So, if the dividend is 82 and the quotient is 62, the divisor is 1.3225806451613.
