What is x when 9 divided by x equals 62?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 9 and the quotient 62?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 9 ÷ 62 = 0.14516129032258

To prove this, let's compute 9 divided by 0.14516129032258: 9 0.14516129032258 = 62

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 9 divided by x gives a result of 62, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

9 x = 62

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 9 x x = 62 x
  2. 9 x x is equivalent to x x × 9 , which simplifies to 1 × 9 (or just 9 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 9 = 62 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 62: 9 62 = 62 x 62
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.14516129032258 = x (or x = 0.14516129032258 )

So, if the dividend is 9 and the quotient is 62, the divisor is 0.14516129032258.
