Question

1/7 divided by what equals 14

Answer 1

To find the number that \( \frac{1}{7} \) is divided by to equal 14, you can set up the equation:

\[
\frac{1}{7} \div x = 14
\]

To solve for \( x \), you can multiply both sides by \( x \) and then by 7:

\[
\frac{1}{7} = 14x
\]

Now multiply both sides by 7:

\[
1 = 98x
\]

Now, divide both sides by 98:

\[
x = \frac{1}{98}
\]

Thus, \( \frac{1}{7} \div \frac{1}{98} = 14 \). Therefore, the answer is:

\[
\frac{1}{98}
\]
