What is x when 33 divided by x equals 77?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 33 ÷ 77 = 0.42857142857143

To prove this, let's compute 33 divided by 0.42857142857143: $\frac{33}{0.42857142857143} = 77$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 33 divided by x gives a result of 77, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{33}{x} = 77$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{33 x}{x} = 77 x$
$\frac{33 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 33$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 33$ (or just $33$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $33 = 77 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 77: $\frac{33}{77} = \frac{77 x}{77}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.42857142857143 = x$ (or $x = 0.42857142857143$ )

So, if the dividend is 33 and the quotient is 77, the divisor is 0.42857142857143.
