What is x when 35 divided by x equals 3?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 35 ÷ 3 = 11.666666666667

To prove this, let's compute 35 divided by 11.666666666667: $\frac{35}{11.666666666667} = 3$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 35 divided by x gives a result of 3, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{35}{x} = 3$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{35 x}{x} = 3 x$
$\frac{35 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 35$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 35$ (or just $35$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $35 = 3 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 3: $\frac{35}{3} = \frac{3 x}{3}$
Which gives, after simplification: $11.666666666667 = x$ (or $x = 11.666666666667$ )

So, if the dividend is 35 and the quotient is 3, the divisor is 11.666666666667.
