What is x when 57 divided by x equals 33?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 57 ÷ 33 = 1.7272727272727

To prove this, let's compute 57 divided by 1.7272727272727: $\frac{57}{1.7272727272727} = 33$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 57 divided by x gives a result of 33, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{57}{x} = 33$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{57 x}{x} = 33 x$
$\frac{57 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 57$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 57$ (or just $57$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $57 = 33 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 33: $\frac{57}{33} = \frac{33 x}{33}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.7272727272727 = x$ (or $x = 1.7272727272727$ )

So, if the dividend is 57 and the quotient is 33, the divisor is 1.7272727272727.
