What is x when 92 divided by x equals 37?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 92 and the quotient 37?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 92 ÷ 37 = 2.4864864864865

To prove this, let's compute 92 divided by 2.4864864864865: 92 2.4864864864865 = 37

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 92 divided by x gives a result of 37, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

92 x = 37

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 92 x x = 37 x
  2. 92 x x is equivalent to x x × 92 , which simplifies to 1 × 92 (or just 92 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 92 = 37 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 37: 92 37 = 37 x 37
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.4864864864865 = x (or x = 2.4864864864865 )

So, if the dividend is 92 and the quotient is 37, the divisor is 2.4864864864865.
