What is x when 91 divided by x equals 14?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 91 and the quotient 14?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 91 ÷ 14 = 6.5

To prove this, let's compute 91 divided by 6.5: 91 6.5 = 14

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 91 divided by x gives a result of 14, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

91 x = 14

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 91 x x = 14 x
  2. 91 x x is equivalent to x x × 91 , which simplifies to 1 × 91 (or just 91 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 91 = 14 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 14: 91 14 = 14 x 14
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 6.5 = x (or x = 6.5 )

So, if the dividend is 91 and the quotient is 14, the divisor is 6.5.
