What is x when 13 divided by x equals 22?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 13 and the quotient 22?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 13 ÷ 22 = 0.59090909090909

To prove this, let's compute 13 divided by 0.59090909090909: 13 0.59090909090909 = 22

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 13 divided by x gives a result of 22, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

13 x = 22

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 13 x x = 22 x
  2. 13 x x is equivalent to x x × 13 , which simplifies to 1 × 13 (or just 13 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 13 = 22 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 22: 13 22 = 22 x 22
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.59090909090909 = x (or x = 0.59090909090909 )

So, if the dividend is 13 and the quotient is 22, the divisor is 0.59090909090909.
