What is x when 13 divided by x equals 58?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 13 and the quotient 58?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 13 ÷ 58 = 0.22413793103448

To prove this, let's compute 13 divided by 0.22413793103448: 13 0.22413793103448 = 58

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 13 divided by x gives a result of 58, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

13 x = 58

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 13 x x = 58 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 = 58 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 58: 13 58 = 58 x 58
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.22413793103448 = x (or x = 0.22413793103448 )

So, if the dividend is 13 and the quotient is 58, the divisor is 0.22413793103448.
