What is 1/1 of 44?

Often, in mathematics or everyday life, we need to find a fraction of a given number. For instance, how would you quickly calculate 1/1 of 44? We'll show you a straightforward method to achieve that.

How to calculate 1/1 of 44?

  1. Multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction: 44 × 1 = 44
  2. Divide this result by denominator of the fraction: 44/1 = 44

How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 1/1 of 44, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: 1 1 = x 44 (where x represents 1/1 of 44)

  1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: 1 × 44 = 1 x
  2. Which gives: 44 = 1 x
  3. Divide both sides by 1 to isolate x: 44 1 = 1 x 1
  4. Which gives the result: 44 1 = x

Thus, 1/1 of 44 is equal to 44/1 (or 44 in its decimal form).
