What is x when 95 divided by x equals 14?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 95 and the quotient 14?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 95 ÷ 14 = 6.7857142857143

To prove this, let's compute 95 divided by 6.7857142857143: 95 6.7857142857143 = 14

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 95 divided by x gives a result of 14, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

95 x = 14

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 95 x x = 14 x
  2. 95 x x is equivalent to x x × 95 , which simplifies to 1 × 95 (or just 95 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 95 = 14 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 14: 95 14 = 14 x 14
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 6.7857142857143 = x (or x = 6.7857142857143 )

So, if the dividend is 95 and the quotient is 14, the divisor is 6.7857142857143.
