What is x when 44 divided by x equals 59?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 44 and the quotient 59?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 44 ÷ 59 = 0.74576271186441

To prove this, let's compute 44 divided by 0.74576271186441: 44 0.74576271186441 = 59

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 44 divided by x gives a result of 59, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

44 x = 59

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 44 x x = 59 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 = 59 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 59: 44 59 = 59 x 59
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.74576271186441 = x (or x = 0.74576271186441 )

So, if the dividend is 44 and the quotient is 59, the divisor is 0.74576271186441.
