What is x when 69 divided by x equals 33?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 69 and the quotient 33?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 69 ÷ 33 = 2.0909090909091

To prove this, let's compute 69 divided by 2.0909090909091: 69 2.0909090909091 = 33

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 69 divided by x gives a result of 33, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

69 x = 33

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 69 x x = 33 x
  2. 69 x x is equivalent to x x × 69 , which simplifies to 1 × 69 (or just 69 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 69 = 33 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 33: 69 33 = 33 x 33
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.0909090909091 = x (or x = 2.0909090909091 )

So, if the dividend is 69 and the quotient is 33, the divisor is 2.0909090909091.
