What is x when 16 divided by x equals 14?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 16 ÷ 14 = 1.1428571428571

To prove this, let's compute 16 divided by 1.1428571428571: $\frac{16}{1.1428571428571} = 14$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 16 divided by x gives a result of 14, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{16}{x} = 14$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{16 x}{x} = 14 x$
$\frac{16 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 16$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 16$ (or just $16$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $16 = 14 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 14: $\frac{16}{14} = \frac{14 x}{14}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.1428571428571 = x$ (or $x = 1.1428571428571$ )

So, if the dividend is 16 and the quotient is 14, the divisor is 1.1428571428571.
