What is x when 23 divided by x equals 44?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 23 and the quotient 44?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 23 ÷ 44 = 0.52272727272727

To prove this, let's compute 23 divided by 0.52272727272727: 23 0.52272727272727 = 44

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 23 divided by x gives a result of 44, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

23 x = 44

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 23 x x = 44 x
  2. 23 x x is equivalent to x x × 23 , which simplifies to 1 × 23 (or just 23 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 23 = 44 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 44: 23 44 = 44 x 44
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.52272727272727 = x (or x = 0.52272727272727 )

So, if the dividend is 23 and the quotient is 44, the divisor is 0.52272727272727.
