What is x when 13 divided by x equals 97?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 13 and the quotient 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 13 ÷ 97 = 0.1340206185567

To prove this, let's compute 13 divided by 0.1340206185567: 13 0.1340206185567 = 97

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 13 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

13 x = 97

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 13 x x = 97 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 = 97 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 97: 13 97 = 97 x 97
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.1340206185567 = x (or x = 0.1340206185567 )

So, if the dividend is 13 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.1340206185567.
