What is x when 33 divided by x equals 35?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 33 and the quotient 35?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 33 ÷ 35 = 0.94285714285714

To prove this, let's compute 33 divided by 0.94285714285714: 33 0.94285714285714 = 35

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 33 divided by x gives a result of 35, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

33 x = 35

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 33 x x = 35 x
  2. 33 x x is equivalent to x x × 33 , which simplifies to 1 × 33 (or just 33 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 33 = 35 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 35: 33 35 = 35 x 35
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.94285714285714 = x (or x = 0.94285714285714 )

So, if the dividend is 33 and the quotient is 35, the divisor is 0.94285714285714.
