What value divided by 14 equals 1?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 14 and the quotient 1?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 14 × 1 = 14
To prove this, let's compute 14 divided by 14:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 14 gives a result of 1 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 14:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 14 and the quotient is 1, the dividend is 14.
