What is x when 65 divided by x equals 22?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 65 and the quotient 22?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 65 ÷ 22 = 2.9545454545455

To prove this, let's compute 65 divided by 2.9545454545455: 65 2.9545454545455 = 22

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 65 divided by x gives a result of 22, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

65 x = 22

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 65 x x = 22 x
  2. 65 x x is equivalent to x x × 65 , which simplifies to 1 × 65 (or just 65 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 65 = 22 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 22: 65 22 = 22 x 22
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.9545454545455 = x (or x = 2.9545454545455 )

So, if the dividend is 65 and the quotient is 22, the divisor is 2.9545454545455.
