What is x when 33 divided by x equals 41?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 33 and the quotient 41?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 33 ÷ 41 = 0.80487804878049

To prove this, let's compute 33 divided by 0.80487804878049: 33 0.80487804878049 = 41

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 33 divided by x gives a result of 41, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

33 x = 41

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 33 x x = 41 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 = 41 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 41: 33 41 = 41 x 41
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.80487804878049 = x (or x = 0.80487804878049 )

So, if the dividend is 33 and the quotient is 41, the divisor is 0.80487804878049.
