What is x when 67 divided by x equals 13?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 67 and the quotient 13?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 67 ÷ 13 = 5.1538461538462

To prove this, let's compute 67 divided by 5.1538461538462: 67 5.1538461538462 = 13

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 67 divided by x gives a result of 13, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

67 x = 13

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 67 x x = 13 x
  2. 67 x x is equivalent to x x × 67 , which simplifies to 1 × 67 (or just 67 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 67 = 13 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 13: 67 13 = 13 x 13
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 5.1538461538462 = x (or x = 5.1538461538462 )

So, if the dividend is 67 and the quotient is 13, the divisor is 5.1538461538462.
