8 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 8 by to equal 62?Solving 8 Divided by What Equals 62Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:8x=62\frac{8}{x} = 62x8=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 8:8=62∗x8 = 62*x8=62∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 62:862=x\frac{8}{62} = x628=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=0.129x = 0.129x=0.129Practice 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 14 equals 83?56 divided by what equals 55?What is 16/11 divided by 53?What is 19/3 divided by 20/7?What is 45 divided by 12/1?
