What is x when 50 divided by x equals 22?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 50 and the quotient 22?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 50 ÷ 22 = 2.2727272727273

To prove this, let's compute 50 divided by 2.2727272727273: 50 2.2727272727273 = 22

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 50 divided by x gives a result of 22, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

50 x = 22

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 50 x x = 22 x
  2. 50 x x is equivalent to x x × 50 , which simplifies to 1 × 50 (or just 50 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 50 = 22 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 22: 50 22 = 22 x 22
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.2727272727273 = x (or x = 2.2727272727273 )

So, if the dividend is 50 and the quotient is 22, the divisor is 2.2727272727273.
