What is x when 63 divided by x equals 14?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 63 and the quotient 14?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 63 ÷ 14 = 4.5

To prove this, let's compute 63 divided by 4.5: 63 4.5 = 14

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 63 divided by x gives a result of 14, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

63 x = 14

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 63 x x = 14 x
  2. 63 x x is equivalent to x x × 63 , which simplifies to 1 × 63 (or just 63 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 63 = 14 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 14: 63 14 = 14 x 14
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.5 = x (or x = 4.5 )

So, if the dividend is 63 and the quotient is 14, the divisor is 4.5.
