What is x when 22 divided by x equals 36?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 22 and the quotient 36?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 22 ÷ 36 = 0.61111111111111

To prove this, let's compute 22 divided by 0.61111111111111: 22 0.61111111111111 = 36

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 22 divided by x gives a result of 36, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

22 x = 36

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 22 x x = 36 x
  2. 22 x x is equivalent to x x × 22 , which simplifies to 1 × 22 (or just 22 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 22 = 36 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 36: 22 36 = 36 x 36
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.61111111111111 = x (or x = 0.61111111111111 )

So, if the dividend is 22 and the quotient is 36, the divisor is 0.61111111111111.
