What is x when 61 divided by x equals 13?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 61 and the quotient 13?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 61 ÷ 13 = 4.6923076923077

To prove this, let's compute 61 divided by 4.6923076923077: 61 4.6923076923077 = 13

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 61 divided by x gives a result of 13, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

61 x = 13

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 61 x x = 13 x
  2. 61 x x is equivalent to x x × 61 , which simplifies to 1 × 61 (or just 61 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 61 = 13 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 13: 61 13 = 13 x 13
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.6923076923077 = x (or x = 4.6923076923077 )

So, if the dividend is 61 and the quotient is 13, the divisor is 4.6923076923077.
