What is x when 25 divided by x equals 22?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 25 and the quotient 22?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 25 ÷ 22 = 1.1363636363636

To prove this, let's compute 25 divided by 1.1363636363636: 25 1.1363636363636 = 22

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 25 divided by x gives a result of 22, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

25 x = 22

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 25 x x = 22 x
  2. 25 x x is equivalent to x x × 25 , which simplifies to 1 × 25 (or just 25 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 25 = 22 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 22: 25 22 = 22 x 22
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.1363636363636 = x (or x = 1.1363636363636 )

So, if the dividend is 25 and the quotient is 22, the divisor is 1.1363636363636.
