What is x when 96 divided by x equals 44?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 96 and the quotient 44?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 96 ÷ 44 = 2.1818181818182

To prove this, let's compute 96 divided by 2.1818181818182: 96 2.1818181818182 = 44

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 96 divided by x gives a result of 44, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

96 x = 44

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 96 x x = 44 x
  2. 96 x x is equivalent to x x × 96 , which simplifies to 1 × 96 (or just 96 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 96 = 44 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 44: 96 44 = 44 x 44
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.1818181818182 = x (or x = 2.1818181818182 )

So, if the dividend is 96 and the quotient is 44, the divisor is 2.1818181818182.
