What is x when 37 divided by x equals 33?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 37 and the quotient 33?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 37 ÷ 33 = 1.1212121212121

To prove this, let's compute 37 divided by 1.1212121212121: 37 1.1212121212121 = 33

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 37 divided by x gives a result of 33, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

37 x = 33

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 37 x x = 33 x
  2. 37 x x is equivalent to x x × 37 , which simplifies to 1 × 37 (or just 37 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 37 = 33 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 33: 37 33 = 33 x 33
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.1212121212121 = x (or x = 1.1212121212121 )

So, if the dividend is 37 and the quotient is 33, the divisor is 1.1212121212121.
