Find the number that, when divided into 44, gives the result.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are looking for a number that, when divided into 44, yields a quotient.
2. We will represent the unknown number with a variable, typically x x .

STEP 2

Write an equation representing the situation where 44 is divided by an unknown number x x .
44x=quotient \frac{44}{x} = quotient

STEP 3

Since we want to solve for x x , we can set the quotient to 1 to represent the fact that 44 divided by x x equals 1 times x x .
44x=1 \frac{44}{x} = 1

STEP 4

To solve for x x , we can multiply both sides of the equation by x x to isolate x x on one side of the equation.
x44x=x1 x \cdot \frac{44}{x} = x \cdot 1

STEP 5

On the left side of the equation, x x cancels out in the numerator and denominator, leaving us with:
44=x 44 = x

STEP 6

We see that the number we were looking for is 44.
The number is 44.
