What is x when 22 divided by x equals 71?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 22 ÷ 71 = 0.30985915492958

To prove this, let's compute 22 divided by 0.30985915492958: $\frac{22}{0.30985915492958} = 71$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 22 divided by x gives a result of 71, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{22}{x} = 71$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{22 x}{x} = 71 x$
$\frac{22 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 22$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 22$ (or just $22$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $22 = 71 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 71: $\frac{22}{71} = \frac{71 x}{71}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.30985915492958 = x$ (or $x = 0.30985915492958$ )

So, if the dividend is 22 and the quotient is 71, the divisor is 0.30985915492958.
