What is x when 34 divided by x equals 66?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 34 and the quotient 66?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 34 ÷ 66 = 0.51515151515152

To prove this, let's compute 34 divided by 0.51515151515152: 34 0.51515151515152 = 66

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 34 divided by x gives a result of 66, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

34 x = 66

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 34 x x = 66 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 = 66 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 66: 34 66 = 66 x 66
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.51515151515152 = x (or x = 0.51515151515152 )

So, if the dividend is 34 and the quotient is 66, the divisor is 0.51515151515152.
