What is x when 57 divided by x equals 13?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 57 and the quotient 13?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 57 ÷ 13 = 4.3846153846154

To prove this, let's compute 57 divided by 4.3846153846154: 57 4.3846153846154 = 13

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 57 divided by x gives a result of 13, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

57 x = 13

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 57 x x = 13 x
  2. 57 x x is equivalent to x x × 57 , which simplifies to 1 × 57 (or just 57 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 57 = 13 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 13: 57 13 = 13 x 13
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.3846153846154 = x (or x = 4.3846153846154 )

So, if the dividend is 57 and the quotient is 13, the divisor is 4.3846153846154.
