What is x when 80 divided by x equals 13?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 80 and the quotient 13?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 80 ÷ 13 = 6.1538461538462

To prove this, let's compute 80 divided by 6.1538461538462: 80 6.1538461538462 = 13

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 80 divided by x gives a result of 13, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

80 x = 13

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 80 x x = 13 x
  2. 80 x x is equivalent to x x × 80 , which simplifies to 1 × 80 (or just 80 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 80 = 13 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 13: 80 13 = 13 x 13
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 6.1538461538462 = x (or x = 6.1538461538462 )

So, if the dividend is 80 and the quotient is 13, the divisor is 6.1538461538462.
