What is x when 52 divided by x equals 22?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 52 and the quotient 22?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 52 ÷ 22 = 2.3636363636364

To prove this, let's compute 52 divided by 2.3636363636364: 52 2.3636363636364 = 22

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 52 divided by x gives a result of 22, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

52 x = 22

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 52 x x = 22 x
  2. 52 x x is equivalent to x x × 52 , which simplifies to 1 × 52 (or just 52 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 52 = 22 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 22: 52 22 = 22 x 22
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.3636363636364 = x (or x = 2.3636363636364 )

So, if the dividend is 52 and the quotient is 22, the divisor is 2.3636363636364.
