What is x when 43 divided by x equals 44?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 43 and the quotient 44?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 43 ÷ 44 = 0.97727272727273

To prove this, let's compute 43 divided by 0.97727272727273: 43 0.97727272727273 = 44

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 43 divided by x gives a result of 44, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

43 x = 44

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 43 x x = 44 x
  2. 43 x x is equivalent to x x × 43 , which simplifies to 1 × 43 (or just 43 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 43 = 44 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 44: 43 44 = 44 x 44
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.97727272727273 = x (or x = 0.97727272727273 )

So, if the dividend is 43 and the quotient is 44, the divisor is 0.97727272727273.
