What is x when 77 divided by x equals 22?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 77 ÷ 22 = 3.5

To prove this, let's compute 77 divided by 3.5: $\frac{77}{3.5} = 22$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 77 divided by x gives a result of 22, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{77}{x} = 22$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{77 x}{x} = 22 x$
$\frac{77 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 77$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 77$ (or just $77$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $77 = 22 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 22: $\frac{77}{22} = \frac{22 x}{22}$
Which gives, after simplification: $3.5 = x$ (or $x = 3.5$ )

So, if the dividend is 77 and the quotient is 22, the divisor is 3.5.
