What is x when 100 divided by x equals 13?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 100 and the quotient 13?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 100 ÷ 13 = 7.6923076923077

To prove this, let's compute 100 divided by 7.6923076923077: 100 7.6923076923077 = 13

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 100 divided by x gives a result of 13, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

100 x = 13

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 100 x x = 13 x
  2. 100 x x is equivalent to x x × 100 , which simplifies to 1 × 100 (or just 100 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 100 = 13 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 13: 100 13 = 13 x 13
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 7.6923076923077 = x (or x = 7.6923076923077 )

So, if the dividend is 100 and the quotient is 13, the divisor is 7.6923076923077.
