What is x when 57 divided by x equals 22?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 57 ÷ 22 = 2.5909090909091

To prove this, let's compute 57 divided by 2.5909090909091: $\frac{57}{2.5909090909091} = 22$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 57 divided by x gives a result of 22, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{57}{x} = 22$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{57 x}{x} = 22 x$
$\frac{57 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 57$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 57$ (or just $57$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $57 = 22 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 22: $\frac{57}{22} = \frac{22 x}{22}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.5909090909091 = x$ (or $x = 2.5909090909091$ )

So, if the dividend is 57 and the quotient is 22, the divisor is 2.5909090909091.
