What is x when 66 divided by x equals 13?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 66 and the quotient 13?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 66 ÷ 13 = 5.0769230769231

To prove this, let's compute 66 divided by 5.0769230769231: 66 5.0769230769231 = 13

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 66 divided by x gives a result of 13, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

66 x = 13

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 66 x x = 13 x
  2. 66 x x is equivalent to x x × 66 , which simplifies to 1 × 66 (or just 66 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 66 = 13 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 13: 66 13 = 13 x 13
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 5.0769230769231 = x (or x = 5.0769230769231 )

So, if the dividend is 66 and the quotient is 13, the divisor is 5.0769230769231.
