What is x when 96 divided by x equals 33?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 96 and the quotient 33?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 96 ÷ 33 = 2.9090909090909

To prove this, let's compute 96 divided by 2.9090909090909: 96 2.9090909090909 = 33

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 96 divided by x gives a result of 33, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

96 x = 33

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 96 x x = 33 x
  2. 96 x x is equivalent to x x × 96 , which simplifies to 1 × 96 (or just 96 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 96 = 33 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 33: 96 33 = 33 x 33
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.9090909090909 = x (or x = 2.9090909090909 )

So, if the dividend is 96 and the quotient is 33, the divisor is 2.9090909090909.
