Problem
Let 
for all positive integers 
. Find the value of 
that satisfies ![\[\frac{5!x}{2022!}=\frac{20}{2021!}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/3/6/d/36df42c0f356e92ee3bcdca3abaa75bc4387fd5b.png)
Solution
We can multiply both sides by 
to get rid of the fractions
![\[\frac{5!x}{2022!}=\frac{20}{2021!}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/7/1/1/7114489da9030ac2d999a4d742a8e91407d403bf.png)
![\[5!x=20 \cdot 2022\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/6/7/967dbc66c5ba348bdd938e31f827dc2865ae7b1d.png)
![\[120x=(120)(337)\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/3/5/9/359eb00ab26bc2d6cc37b3b005f10182af28b227.png)
![\[x=\boxed{337}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/2/4/e/24ef932a425a2d016c919c1057a06b618db6bbf1.png)
