Question

Find the divisor given that the dividend is 2200 remainder is 13 and the divisor is one third of the quotient

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quotient be  y

then,  divisor = y/3

divisor X quotient + remainder = dividend

(y/3 ) X  (y)  + 13 = 2200

y²/3 = 2200 - 13

y²  = 2187 x 3

     = 6561

∴ y =√6561

     = 81

divisor  = y/3

           = 81/3

          = 27
