What two numbers have a product of 62 and a quotient of 85?

Here is how to get the answer to "What two numbers have a product of 62 and a quotient of 85?" 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 62, means:

x • y = 62

Equation 2: Two numbers have a quotient of 85, means:

x / y = 85
x = 85y

Then, we put Equation 2 into Equation 1. We do this by substituting x in x • y = 62 with 85y, like this:

x • y = 62
85y • y = 62
y = 0.854056

Finally, since y = 0.854056, we put 0.854056 into Equation 1 by substituting y in x • y = 62 with 0.854056, like this:

x • 0.854056 = 62
x = 72.594766

Thus, the answer is "0.854056 and 72.594766" as illustrated here:

72.594766 • 0.854056 = 62

72.594766 / 0.854056 = 85

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