What is x when 72 divided by x equals 44?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 72 ÷ 44 = 1.6363636363636

To prove this, let's compute 72 divided by 1.6363636363636: $\frac{72}{1.6363636363636} = 44$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 72 divided by x gives a result of 44, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{72}{x} = 44$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{72 x}{x} = 44 x$
$\frac{72 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 72$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 72$ (or just $72$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $72 = 44 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 44: $\frac{72}{44} = \frac{44 x}{44}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.6363636363636 = x$ (or $x = 1.6363636363636$ )

So, if the dividend is 72 and the quotient is 44, the divisor is 1.6363636363636.
