What is x when 20 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 20 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 20 ÷ 11 = 1.8181818181818

To prove this, let's compute 20 divided by 1.8181818181818: 20 1.8181818181818 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 20 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

20 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 20 x x = 11 x
  2. 20 x x is equivalent to x x × 20 , which simplifies to 1 × 20 (or just 20 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 20 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 20 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.8181818181818 = x (or x = 1.8181818181818 )

So, if the dividend is 20 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 1.8181818181818.
