What is x when 44 divided by x equals 28?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 44 and the quotient 28?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 44 ÷ 28 = 1.5714285714286

To prove this, let's compute 44 divided by 1.5714285714286: 44 1.5714285714286 = 28

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 44 divided by x gives a result of 28, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

44 x = 28

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 44 x x = 28 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 = 28 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 28: 44 28 = 28 x 28
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.5714285714286 = x (or x = 1.5714285714286 )

So, if the dividend is 44 and the quotient is 28, the divisor is 1.5714285714286.
