What is x when 88 divided by x equals 36?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 88 ÷ 36 = 2.4444444444444

To prove this, let's compute 88 divided by 2.4444444444444: $\frac{88}{2.4444444444444} = 36$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 88 divided by x gives a result of 36, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{88}{x} = 36$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{88 x}{x} = 36 x$
$\frac{88 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 88$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 88$ (or just $88$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $88 = 36 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 36: $\frac{88}{36} = \frac{36 x}{36}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.4444444444444 = x$ (or $x = 2.4444444444444$ )

So, if the dividend is 88 and the quotient is 36, the divisor is 2.4444444444444.
