What is x when 11 divided by x equals 13?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 11 and the quotient 13?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 11 ÷ 13 = 0.84615384615385

To prove this, let's compute 11 divided by 0.84615384615385: 11 0.84615384615385 = 13

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 11 divided by x gives a result of 13, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

11 x = 13

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 11 x x = 13 x
  2. 11 x x is equivalent to x x × 11 , which simplifies to 1 × 11 (or just 11 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 11 = 13 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 13: 11 13 = 13 x 13
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.84615384615385 = x (or x = 0.84615384615385 )

So, if the dividend is 11 and the quotient is 13, the divisor is 0.84615384615385.
