What is x when 35 divided by x equals 33?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 35 and the quotient 33?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 35 ÷ 33 = 1.0606060606061

To prove this, let's compute 35 divided by 1.0606060606061: 35 1.0606060606061 = 33

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 35 divided by x gives a result of 33, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

35 x = 33

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 35 x x = 33 x
  2. 35 x x is equivalent to x x × 35 , which simplifies to 1 × 35 (or just 35 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 35 = 33 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 33: 35 33 = 33 x 33
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.0606060606061 = x (or x = 1.0606060606061 )

So, if the dividend is 35 and the quotient is 33, the divisor is 1.0606060606061.
