What is x when 33 divided by x equals 37?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 33 and the quotient 37?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 33 ÷ 37 = 0.89189189189189

To prove this, let's compute 33 divided by 0.89189189189189: 33 0.89189189189189 = 37

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 33 divided by x gives a result of 37, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

33 x = 37

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 33 x x = 37 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 = 37 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 37: 33 37 = 37 x 37
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.89189189189189 = x (or x = 0.89189189189189 )

So, if the dividend is 33 and the quotient is 37, the divisor is 0.89189189189189.
