What is x when 13 divided by x equals 69?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 13 and the quotient 69?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 13 ÷ 69 = 0.18840579710145

To prove this, let's compute 13 divided by 0.18840579710145: 13 0.18840579710145 = 69

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 13 divided by x gives a result of 69, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

13 x = 69

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 13 x x = 69 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 = 69 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 69: 13 69 = 69 x 69
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.18840579710145 = x (or x = 0.18840579710145 )

So, if the dividend is 13 and the quotient is 69, the divisor is 0.18840579710145.
