What is x when 77 divided by x equals 35?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 77 ÷ 35 = 2.2

To prove this, let's compute 77 divided by 2.2: $\frac{77}{2.2} = 35$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 77 divided by x gives a result of 35, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{77}{x} = 35$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{77 x}{x} = 35 x$
$\frac{77 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 77$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 77$ (or just $77$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $77 = 35 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 35: $\frac{77}{35} = \frac{35 x}{35}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.2 = x$ (or $x = 2.2$ )

So, if the dividend is 77 and the quotient is 35, the divisor is 2.2.
