77 Divided by What Equals 62?MethodsSetting up the problem:In a problem like this, the “what” means that we’re working with a variable. The most common variable used in math is “x”. So we could say what number, x can we divide 77 by to equal 62?Solving 77 Divided by What Equals 62Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:77x=62\frac{77}{x} = 62x77=62The goal of the problem is to solve for x. To do this we need to change the equation so that x is alone on one side of the equation.In this case, it can be done in two steps. The first step is to multiply both sides by x to isolate 77:77=62∗x77 = 62*x77=62∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 62:7762=x\frac{77}{62} = x6277=xWhen we simplify the new equation, we can solve for x. In this example, we will round to the nearest three decimal places if that’s needed.x=1.242x = 1.242x=1.242Practice Other Division Problems Like This OneIf this problem was a little difficult or you want to practice your skills on another one, give it a go on any one of these too!What divided by 79 equals 71?78 divided by what equals 52?What is 11/15 divided by 70?What is 13/6 divided by 20/19?What is 43 divided by 4/9?
