What is x when 44 divided by x equals 10?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 44 and the quotient 10?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 44 ÷ 10 = 4.4

To prove this, let's compute 44 divided by 4.4: 44 4.4 = 10

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 44 divided by x gives a result of 10, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

44 x = 10

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 44 x x = 10 x
  2. 44 x x is equivalent to x x × 44 , which simplifies to 1 × 44 (or just 44 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 44 = 10 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 10: 44 10 = 10 x 10
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.4 = x (or x = 4.4 )

So, if the dividend is 44 and the quotient is 10, the divisor is 4.4.
