What is x when 34 divided by x equals 13?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 34 and the quotient 13?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 34 ÷ 13 = 2.6153846153846

To prove this, let's compute 34 divided by 2.6153846153846: 34 2.6153846153846 = 13

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 34 divided by x gives a result of 13, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

34 x = 13

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 34 x x = 13 x
  2. 34 x x is equivalent to x x × 34 , which simplifies to 1 × 34 (or just 34 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 34 = 13 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 13: 34 13 = 13 x 13
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.6153846153846 = x (or x = 2.6153846153846 )

So, if the dividend is 34 and the quotient is 13, the divisor is 2.6153846153846.
