You can put this solution on YOUR website!
13/x + 1 is your number.
\n" ); document.write( "13 can be divided by 13 with the result = 1 (an integer).
\n" ); document.write( "13 can be divided by 1 with the result = 13 (an integer).
\n" ); document.write( "since 13 is a prime number, no other x will divide into it and make an integer.
\n" ); document.write( "if x = .1, then 130 + 1 is an integer, but x is not an integer.
\n" ); document.write( "smallest x appears to be 1.
\n" ); document.write( "this would be the smallest integer value of x where the result of 13/x + 1 is an integer, i believe.
