Step-by-Step Solution

In order to simplify the resolution process, we begin by breaking down the number 65 into a smaller addition exercise.

We choose numbers that are divisible by 13:

(26+26+13):13= (26+26+13):13=

We then divide each of the terms within parentheses by 13:

26:13=2 26:13=2

26:13=2 26:13=2

13:13=1 13:13=1

To finish we add up all of the results that we obtained:

2+2+1=4+1=5 2+2+1=4+1=5
