What is x when 32 divided by x equals 45?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 32 and the quotient 45?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 32 ÷ 45 = 0.71111111111111

To prove this, let's compute 32 divided by 0.71111111111111: 32 0.71111111111111 = 45

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 32 divided by x gives a result of 45, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

32 x = 45

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 32 x x = 45 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 = 45 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 45: 32 45 = 45 x 45
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.71111111111111 = x (or x = 0.71111111111111 )

So, if the dividend is 32 and the quotient is 45, the divisor is 0.71111111111111.
