What is x when 36 divided by x equals 35?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 36 ÷ 35 = 1.0285714285714

To prove this, let's compute 36 divided by 1.0285714285714: $\frac{36}{1.0285714285714} = 35$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 36 divided by x gives a result of 35, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{36}{x} = 35$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{36 x}{x} = 35 x$
$\frac{36 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 36$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 36$ (or just $36$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $36 = 35 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 35: $\frac{36}{35} = \frac{35 x}{35}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.0285714285714 = x$ (or $x = 1.0285714285714$ )

So, if the dividend is 36 and the quotient is 35, the divisor is 1.0285714285714.
