13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 52 divided by 4​

There should be an equal to sign in order to perform an inverse operation.

Let the answer we get after dividing 52 by 4 = x

52/4 = x

52 divided by 4​ becomes:

52 = 4x

x is multiplied by 4. The inverse operation of multiplication is division.

So, we will divide 4 on both sides of the equation:

52/4 = 4x/4

13 = x

x = 13

The answer is 13
