What is x when 82 divided by x equals 22?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 82 ÷ 22 = 3.7272727272727

To prove this, let's compute 82 divided by 3.7272727272727: $\frac{82}{3.7272727272727} = 22$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 82 divided by x gives a result of 22, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{82}{x} = 22$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{82 x}{x} = 22 x$
$\frac{82 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 82$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 82$ (or just $82$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $82 = 22 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 22: $\frac{82}{22} = \frac{22 x}{22}$
Which gives, after simplification: $3.7272727272727 = x$ (or $x = 3.7272727272727$ )

So, if the dividend is 82 and the quotient is 22, the divisor is 3.7272727272727.
