What is x when 98 divided by x equals 44?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 98 and the quotient 44?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 98 ÷ 44 = 2.2272727272727

To prove this, let's compute 98 divided by 2.2272727272727: 98 2.2272727272727 = 44

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 98 divided by x gives a result of 44, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

98 x = 44

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 98 x x = 44 x
  2. 98 x x is equivalent to x x × 98 , which simplifies to 1 × 98 (or just 98 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 98 = 44 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 44: 98 44 = 44 x 44
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.2272727272727 = x (or x = 2.2272727272727 )

So, if the dividend is 98 and the quotient is 44, the divisor is 2.2272727272727.
