What is x when 43 divided by x equals 13?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 43 and the quotient 13?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 43 ÷ 13 = 3.3076923076923

To prove this, let's compute 43 divided by 3.3076923076923: 43 3.3076923076923 = 13

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 43 divided by x gives a result of 13, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

43 x = 13

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 43 x x = 13 x
  2. 43 x x is equivalent to x x × 43 , which simplifies to 1 × 43 (or just 43 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 43 = 13 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 13: 43 13 = 13 x 13
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.3076923076923 = x (or x = 3.3076923076923 )

So, if the dividend is 43 and the quotient is 13, the divisor is 3.3076923076923.
