What is x when 44 divided by x equals 37?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 44 and the quotient 37?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 44 ÷ 37 = 1.1891891891892

To prove this, let's compute 44 divided by 1.1891891891892: 44 1.1891891891892 = 37

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 44 divided by x gives a result of 37, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

44 x = 37

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 44 x x = 37 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 = 37 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 37: 44 37 = 37 x 37
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.1891891891892 = x (or x = 1.1891891891892 )

So, if the dividend is 44 and the quotient is 37, the divisor is 1.1891891891892.
