What is x when 33 divided by x equals 5?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 33 ÷ 5 = 6.6

To prove this, let's compute 33 divided by 6.6: $\frac{33}{6.6} = 5$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 33 divided by x gives a result of 5, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{33}{x} = 5$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{33 x}{x} = 5 x$
$\frac{33 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 33$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 33$ (or just $33$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $33 = 5 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 5: $\frac{33}{5} = \frac{5 x}{5}$
Which gives, after simplification: $6.6 = x$ (or $x = 6.6$ )

So, if the dividend is 33 and the quotient is 5, the divisor is 6.6.
