What is x when 14 divided by x equals 38?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 14 ÷ 38 = 0.36842105263158

To prove this, let's compute 14 divided by 0.36842105263158: $\frac{14}{0.36842105263158} = 38$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 14 divided by x gives a result of 38, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{14}{x} = 38$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{14 x}{x} = 38 x$
$\frac{14 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 14$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 14$ (or just $14$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $14 = 38 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 38: $\frac{14}{38} = \frac{38 x}{38}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.36842105263158 = x$ (or $x = 0.36842105263158$ )

So, if the dividend is 14 and the quotient is 38, the divisor is 0.36842105263158.
