What is x when 22 divided by x equals 66?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 22 and the quotient 66?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 22 ÷ 66 = 0.33333333333333

To prove this, let's compute 22 divided by 0.33333333333333: 22 0.33333333333333 = 66

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 22 divided by x gives a result of 66, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

22 x = 66

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 22 x x = 66 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 = 66 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 66: 22 66 = 66 x 66
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.33333333333333 = x (or x = 0.33333333333333 )

So, if the dividend is 22 and the quotient is 66, the divisor is 0.33333333333333.
