What is x when 88 divided by x equals 13?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 88 and the quotient 13?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 88 ÷ 13 = 6.7692307692308

To prove this, let's compute 88 divided by 6.7692307692308: 88 6.7692307692308 = 13

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 88 divided by x gives a result of 13, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

88 x = 13

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 88 x x = 13 x
  2. 88 x x is equivalent to x x × 88 , which simplifies to 1 × 88 (or just 88 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 88 = 13 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 13: 88 13 = 13 x 13
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 6.7692307692308 = x (or x = 6.7692307692308 )

So, if the dividend is 88 and the quotient is 13, the divisor is 6.7692307692308.
