What is x when 36 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 36 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 36 ÷ 11 = 3.2727272727273

To prove this, let's compute 36 divided by 3.2727272727273: 36 3.2727272727273 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 36 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

36 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 36 x x = 11 x
  2. 36 x x is equivalent to x x × 36 , which simplifies to 1 × 36 (or just 36 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 36 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 36 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.2727272727273 = x (or x = 3.2727272727273 )

So, if the dividend is 36 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 3.2727272727273.
