What is x when 81 divided by x equals 33?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 81 and the quotient 33?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 81 ÷ 33 = 2.4545454545455

To prove this, let's compute 81 divided by 2.4545454545455: 81 2.4545454545455 = 33

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 81 divided by x gives a result of 33, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

81 x = 33

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 81 x x = 33 x
  2. 81 x x is equivalent to x x × 81 , which simplifies to 1 × 81 (or just 81 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 81 = 33 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 33: 81 33 = 33 x 33
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.4545454545455 = x (or x = 2.4545454545455 )

So, if the dividend is 81 and the quotient is 33, the divisor is 2.4545454545455.
