What is x when 59 divided by x equals 44?

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

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 59 ÷ 44 = 1.3409090909091

To prove this, let's compute 59 divided by 1.3409090909091: 59 1.3409090909091 = 44

How does it work?

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

59 x = 44

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 59 x x = 44 x
  2. 59 x x is equivalent to x x × 59 , which simplifies to 1 × 59 (or just 59 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 59 = 44 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 44: 59 44 = 44 x 44
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.3409090909091 = x (or x = 1.3409090909091 )

So, if the dividend is 59 and the quotient is 44, the divisor is 1.3409090909091.
