What is x when 33 divided by x equals 86?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 33 ÷ 86 = 0.38372093023256

To prove this, let's compute 33 divided by 0.38372093023256: $\frac{33}{0.38372093023256} = 86$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 33 divided by x gives a result of 86, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{33}{x} = 86$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{33 x}{x} = 86 x$
$\frac{33 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 33$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 33$ (or just $33$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $33 = 86 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 86: $\frac{33}{86} = \frac{86 x}{86}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.38372093023256 = x$ (or $x = 0.38372093023256$ )

So, if the dividend is 33 and the quotient is 86, the divisor is 0.38372093023256.
