What is x when 34 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 34 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 34 ÷ 11 = 3.0909090909091

To prove this, let's compute 34 divided by 3.0909090909091: 34 3.0909090909091 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 34 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

34 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 34 x x = 11 x
  2. 34 x x is equivalent to x x × 34 , which simplifies to 1 × 34 (or just 34 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 34 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 34 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.0909090909091 = x (or x = 3.0909090909091 )

So, if the dividend is 34 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 3.0909090909091.
