What is x when 56 divided by x equals 33?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 56 ÷ 33 = 1.6969696969697

To prove this, let's compute 56 divided by 1.6969696969697: $\frac{56}{1.6969696969697} = 33$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 56 divided by x gives a result of 33, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{56}{x} = 33$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{56 x}{x} = 33 x$
$\frac{56 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 56$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 56$ (or just $56$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $56 = 33 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 33: $\frac{56}{33} = \frac{33 x}{33}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.6969696969697 = x$ (or $x = 1.6969696969697$ )

So, if the dividend is 56 and the quotient is 33, the divisor is 1.6969696969697.
