What is x when 34 divided by x equals 22?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 34 and the quotient 22?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 34 ÷ 22 = 1.5454545454545

To prove this, let's compute 34 divided by 1.5454545454545: 34 1.5454545454545 = 22

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 34 divided by x gives a result of 22, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

34 x = 22

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 34 x x = 22 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 = 22 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 22: 34 22 = 22 x 22
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.5454545454545 = x (or x = 1.5454545454545 )

So, if the dividend is 34 and the quotient is 22, the divisor is 1.5454545454545.
