What is x when 14 divided by x equals 66?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 14 and the quotient 66?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 14 ÷ 66 = 0.21212121212121

To prove this, let's compute 14 divided by 0.21212121212121: 14 0.21212121212121 = 66

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 14 divided by x gives a result of 66, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

14 x = 66

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 14 x x = 66 x
  2. 14 x x is equivalent to x x × 14 , which simplifies to 1 × 14 (or just 14 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 14 = 66 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 66: 14 66 = 66 x 66
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.21212121212121 = x (or x = 0.21212121212121 )

So, if the dividend is 14 and the quotient is 66, the divisor is 0.21212121212121.
