What is x when 54 divided by x equals 14?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 54 ÷ 14 = 3.8571428571429

To prove this, let's compute 54 divided by 3.8571428571429: $\frac{54}{3.8571428571429} = 14$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 54 divided by x gives a result of 14, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{54}{x} = 14$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{54 x}{x} = 14 x$
$\frac{54 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 54$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 54$ (or just $54$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $54 = 14 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 14: $\frac{54}{14} = \frac{14 x}{14}$
Which gives, after simplification: $3.8571428571429 = x$ (or $x = 3.8571428571429$ )

So, if the dividend is 54 and the quotient is 14, the divisor is 3.8571428571429.
