What is x when 22 divided by x equals 13?

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

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 22 ÷ 13 = 1.6923076923077

To prove this, let's compute 22 divided by 1.6923076923077: 22 1.6923076923077 = 13

How does it work?

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

22 x = 13

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 22 x x = 13 x
  2. 22 x x is equivalent to x x × 22 , which simplifies to 1 × 22 (or just 22 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 22 = 13 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 13: 22 13 = 13 x 13
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.6923076923077 = x (or x = 1.6923076923077 )

So, if the dividend is 22 and the quotient is 13, the divisor is 1.6923076923077.
