What is x when 69 divided by x equals 14?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 69 and the quotient 14?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 69 ÷ 14 = 4.9285714285714

To prove this, let's compute 69 divided by 4.9285714285714: 69 4.9285714285714 = 14

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 69 divided by x gives a result of 14, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

69 x = 14

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 69 x x = 14 x
  2. 69 x x is equivalent to x x × 69 , which simplifies to 1 × 69 (or just 69 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 69 = 14 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 14: 69 14 = 14 x 14
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.9285714285714 = x (or x = 4.9285714285714 )

So, if the dividend is 69 and the quotient is 14, the divisor is 4.9285714285714.
