What is x when 22 divided by x equals 9?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 22 and the quotient 9?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 22 ÷ 9 = 2.4444444444444

To prove this, let's compute 22 divided by 2.4444444444444: 22 2.4444444444444 = 9

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 22 divided by x gives a result of 9, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

22 x = 9

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 22 x x = 9 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 = 9 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 9: 22 9 = 9 x 9
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.4444444444444 = x (or x = 2.4444444444444 )

So, if the dividend is 22 and the quotient is 9, the divisor is 2.4444444444444.
