What is x when 100 divided by x equals 44?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 100 and the quotient 44?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 100 ÷ 44 = 2.2727272727273

To prove this, let's compute 100 divided by 2.2727272727273: 100 2.2727272727273 = 44

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 100 divided by x gives a result of 44, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

100 x = 44

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 100 x x = 44 x
  2. 100 x x is equivalent to x x × 100 , which simplifies to 1 × 100 (or just 100 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 100 = 44 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 44: 100 44 = 44 x 44
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.2727272727273 = x (or x = 2.2727272727273 )

So, if the dividend is 100 and the quotient is 44, the divisor is 2.2727272727273.
