What is x when 82 divided by x equals 36?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 82 ÷ 36 = 2.2777777777778

To prove this, let's compute 82 divided by 2.2777777777778: $\frac{82}{2.2777777777778} = 36$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 82 divided by x gives a result of 36, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{82}{x} = 36$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{82 x}{x} = 36 x$
$\frac{82 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 82$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 82$ (or just $82$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $82 = 36 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 36: $\frac{82}{36} = \frac{36 x}{36}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.2777777777778 = x$ (or $x = 2.2777777777778$ )

So, if the dividend is 82 and the quotient is 36, the divisor is 2.2777777777778.
