What is x when 33 divided by x equals 13?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 33 and the quotient 13?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 33 ÷ 13 = 2.5384615384615

To prove this, let's compute 33 divided by 2.5384615384615: 33 2.5384615384615 = 13

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 33 divided by x gives a result of 13, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

33 x = 13

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 33 x x = 13 x
  2. 33 x x is equivalent to x x × 33 , which simplifies to 1 × 33 (or just 33 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 33 = 13 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 13: 33 13 = 13 x 13
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.5384615384615 = x (or x = 2.5384615384615 )

So, if the dividend is 33 and the quotient is 13, the divisor is 2.5384615384615.
