What is x when 97 divided by x equals 37?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 97 and the quotient 37?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 97 ÷ 37 = 2.6216216216216

To prove this, let's compute 97 divided by 2.6216216216216: 97 2.6216216216216 = 37

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 97 divided by x gives a result of 37, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

97 x = 37

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 97 x x = 37 x
  2. 97 x x is equivalent to x x × 97 , which simplifies to 1 × 97 (or just 97 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 97 = 37 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 37: 97 37 = 37 x 37
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.6216216216216 = x (or x = 2.6216216216216 )

So, if the dividend is 97 and the quotient is 37, the divisor is 2.6216216216216.
