What is x when 28 divided by x equals 14?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 28 ÷ 14 = 2

To prove this, let's compute 28 divided by 2: $\frac{28}{2} = 14$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 28 divided by x gives a result of 14, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{28}{x} = 14$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{28 x}{x} = 14 x$
$\frac{28 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 28$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 28$ (or just $28$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $28 = 14 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 14: $\frac{28}{14} = \frac{14 x}{14}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2 = x$ (or $x = 2$ )

So, if the dividend is 28 and the quotient is 14, the divisor is 2.
