What is x when 11 divided by x equals 36?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 11 and the quotient 36?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 11 ÷ 36 = 0.30555555555556

To prove this, let's compute 11 divided by 0.30555555555556: 11 0.30555555555556 = 36

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 11 divided by x gives a result of 36, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

11 x = 36

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 11 x x = 36 x
  2. 11 x x is equivalent to x x × 11 , which simplifies to 1 × 11 (or just 11 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 11 = 36 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 36: 11 36 = 36 x 36
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.30555555555556 = x (or x = 0.30555555555556 )

So, if the dividend is 11 and the quotient is 36, the divisor is 0.30555555555556.
