What is x when 33 divided by x equals 62?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 33 and the quotient 62?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 33 ÷ 62 = 0.53225806451613

To prove this, let's compute 33 divided by 0.53225806451613: 33 0.53225806451613 = 62

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 33 divided by x gives a result of 62, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

33 x = 62

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 33 x x = 62 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 = 62 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 62: 33 62 = 62 x 62
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.53225806451613 = x (or x = 0.53225806451613 )

So, if the dividend is 33 and the quotient is 62, the divisor is 0.53225806451613.
