What is x when 13 divided by x equals 91?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 13 and the quotient 91?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 13 ÷ 91 = 0.14285714285714

To prove this, let's compute 13 divided by 0.14285714285714: 13 0.14285714285714 = 91

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 13 divided by x gives a result of 91, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

13 x = 91

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 13 x x = 91 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 = 91 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 91: 13 91 = 91 x 91
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.14285714285714 = x (or x = 0.14285714285714 )

So, if the dividend is 13 and the quotient is 91, the divisor is 0.14285714285714.
