What is x when 70 divided by x equals 33?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 70 and the quotient 33?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 70 ÷ 33 = 2.1212121212121

To prove this, let's compute 70 divided by 2.1212121212121: 70 2.1212121212121 = 33

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 70 divided by x gives a result of 33, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

70 x = 33

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 70 x x = 33 x
  2. 70 x x is equivalent to x x × 70 , which simplifies to 1 × 70 (or just 70 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 70 = 33 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 33: 70 33 = 33 x 33
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.1212121212121 = x (or x = 2.1212121212121 )

So, if the dividend is 70 and the quotient is 33, the divisor is 2.1212121212121.
