What is x when 56 divided by x equals 14?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 56 ÷ 14 = 4

To prove this, let's compute 56 divided by 4: $\frac{56}{4} = 14$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 56 divided by x gives a result of 14, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{56}{x} = 14$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{56 x}{x} = 14 x$
$\frac{56 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 56$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 56$ (or just $56$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $56 = 14 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 14: $\frac{56}{14} = \frac{14 x}{14}$
Which gives, after simplification: $4 = x$ (or $x = 4$ )

So, if the dividend is 56 and the quotient is 14, the divisor is 4.
