What is x when 86 divided by x equals 37?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 86 ÷ 37 = 2.3243243243243

To prove this, let's compute 86 divided by 2.3243243243243: $\frac{86}{2.3243243243243} = 37$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 86 divided by x gives a result of 37, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{86}{x} = 37$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{86 x}{x} = 37 x$
$\frac{86 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 86$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 86$ (or just $86$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $86 = 37 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 37: $\frac{86}{37} = \frac{37 x}{37}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.3243243243243 = x$ (or $x = 2.3243243243243$ )

So, if the dividend is 86 and the quotient is 37, the divisor is 2.3243243243243.
