What is x when 42 divided by x equals 44?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 42 ÷ 44 = 0.95454545454545

To prove this, let's compute 42 divided by 0.95454545454545: $\frac{42}{0.95454545454545} = 44$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 42 divided by x gives a result of 44, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{42}{x} = 44$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{42 x}{x} = 44 x$
$\frac{42 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 42$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 42$ (or just $42$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $42 = 44 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 44: $\frac{42}{44} = \frac{44 x}{44}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.95454545454545 = x$ (or $x = 0.95454545454545$ )

So, if the dividend is 42 and the quotient is 44, the divisor is 0.95454545454545.
