What is x when 44 divided by x equals 36?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 44 and the quotient 36?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 44 ÷ 36 = 1.2222222222222

To prove this, let's compute 44 divided by 1.2222222222222: 44 1.2222222222222 = 36

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 44 divided by x gives a result of 36, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

44 x = 36

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 44 x x = 36 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 = 36 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 36: 44 36 = 36 x 36
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.2222222222222 = x (or x = 1.2222222222222 )

So, if the dividend is 44 and the quotient is 36, the divisor is 1.2222222222222.
