What is x when 44 divided by x equals 5?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 44 ÷ 5 = 8.8

To prove this, let's compute 44 divided by 8.8: $\frac{44}{8.8} = 5$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 44 divided by x gives a result of 5, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{44}{x} = 5$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{44 x}{x} = 5 x$
$\frac{44 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 44$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 44$ (or just $44$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $44 = 5 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 5: $\frac{44}{5} = \frac{5 x}{5}$
Which gives, after simplification: $8.8 = x$ (or $x = 8.8$ )

So, if the dividend is 44 and the quotient is 5, the divisor is 8.8.
