What is x when 73 divided by x equals 13?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 73 ÷ 13 = 5.6153846153846

To prove this, let's compute 73 divided by 5.6153846153846: $\frac{73}{5.6153846153846} = 13$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 73 divided by x gives a result of 13, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{73}{x} = 13$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{73 x}{x} = 13 x$
$\frac{73 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 73$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 73$ (or just $73$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $73 = 13 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 13: $\frac{73}{13} = \frac{13 x}{13}$
Which gives, after simplification: $5.6153846153846 = x$ (or $x = 5.6153846153846$ )

So, if the dividend is 73 and the quotient is 13, the divisor is 5.6153846153846.
