What is x when 32 divided by x equals 33?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 32 and the quotient 33?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 32 ÷ 33 = 0.96969696969697

To prove this, let's compute 32 divided by 0.96969696969697: 32 0.96969696969697 = 33

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 32 divided by x gives a result of 33, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

32 x = 33

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 32 x x = 33 x
  2. 32 x x is equivalent to x x × 32 , which simplifies to 1 × 32 (or just 32 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 32 = 33 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 33: 32 33 = 33 x 33
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.96969696969697 = x (or x = 0.96969696969697 )

So, if the dividend is 32 and the quotient is 33, the divisor is 0.96969696969697.
