Explanation:

Step1: Let the multiplier be \( x \)

We have the equation \( 39 \cdot x = 65 \), so we need to solve for \( x \) by dividing both sides by 39. So \( x=\frac{65}{39} \).

Step2: Simplify the fraction

Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 65 and 39. The factors of 39 are 1, 3, 13, 39. The factors of 65 are 1, 5, 13, 65. The GCD is 13. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 13: \( \frac{65\div13}{39\div13}=\frac{5}{3} \).

Answer:

\(\frac{5}{3}\)
