What is x when 58 divided by x equals 22?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 58 and the quotient 22?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 58 ÷ 22 = 2.6363636363636

To prove this, let's compute 58 divided by 2.6363636363636: 58 2.6363636363636 = 22

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 58 divided by x gives a result of 22, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

58 x = 22

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 58 x x = 22 x
  2. 58 x x is equivalent to x x × 58 , which simplifies to 1 × 58 (or just 58 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 58 = 22 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 22: 58 22 = 22 x 22
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.6363636363636 = x (or x = 2.6363636363636 )

So, if the dividend is 58 and the quotient is 22, the divisor is 2.6363636363636.
