What is x when 78 divided by x equals 22?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 78 ÷ 22 = 3.5454545454545

To prove this, let's compute 78 divided by 3.5454545454545: $\frac{78}{3.5454545454545} = 22$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 78 divided by x gives a result of 22, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{78}{x} = 22$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{78 x}{x} = 22 x$
$\frac{78 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 78$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 78$ (or just $78$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $78 = 22 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 22: $\frac{78}{22} = \frac{22 x}{22}$
Which gives, after simplification: $3.5454545454545 = x$ (or $x = 3.5454545454545$ )

So, if the dividend is 78 and the quotient is 22, the divisor is 3.5454545454545.
