What is x when 64 divided by x equals 13?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 64 and the quotient 13?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 64 ÷ 13 = 4.9230769230769

To prove this, let's compute 64 divided by 4.9230769230769: 64 4.9230769230769 = 13

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 64 divided by x gives a result of 13, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

64 x = 13

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 64 x x = 13 x
  2. 64 x x is equivalent to x x × 64 , which simplifies to 1 × 64 (or just 64 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 64 = 13 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 13: 64 13 = 13 x 13
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.9230769230769 = x (or x = 4.9230769230769 )

So, if the dividend is 64 and the quotient is 13, the divisor is 4.9230769230769.
