What two numbers have a product of 4 and a quotient of 36?

Here is how to get the answer to "What two numbers have a product of 4 and a quotient of 36?" We show you step-by-step how find the answer so you can solve problems like this on your own in the future.

We will call the two numbers we are looking for x and y, and we will start by making two equations like this:

Equation 1: Two numbers have a product of 4, means:

x • y = 4

Equation 2: Two numbers have a quotient of 36, means:

x / y = 36
x = 36y

Then, we put Equation 2 into Equation 1. We do this by substituting x in x • y = 4 with 36y, like this:

x • y = 4
36y • y = 4
y = 0.333333

Finally, since y = 0.333333, we put 0.333333 into Equation 1 by substituting y in x • y = 4 with 0.333333, like this:

x • 0.333333 = 4
x = 12

Thus, the answer is "0.333333 and 12" as illustrated here:

12 • 0.333333 = 4

12 / 0.333333 = 36

Note: Answers are rounded up to the nearest 6 decimals if necessary, so the answers may not be exact.
