What is x when 22 divided by x equals 54?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 22 and the quotient 54?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 22 ÷ 54 = 0.40740740740741

To prove this, let's compute 22 divided by 0.40740740740741: 22 0.40740740740741 = 54

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 22 divided by x gives a result of 54, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

22 x = 54

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 22 x x = 54 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 = 54 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 54: 22 54 = 54 x 54
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.40740740740741 = x (or x = 0.40740740740741 )

So, if the dividend is 22 and the quotient is 54, the divisor is 0.40740740740741.
