To find the value of \(\tan\left(\frac{13\pi}{6}\right)\), we can first convert this angle to a reference angle within the primary interval \([0, 2\pi)\).

### Step 1: Convert to an equivalent angle in the range \([0, 2\pi)\)

\[
\frac{13\pi}{6} = 2\pi + \frac{\pi}{6}
\]

Since \(2\pi\) represents a full circle, we can subtract \(2\pi\) to find the reference angle:

\[
\frac{13\pi}{6} - 2\pi = \frac{13\pi}{6} - \frac{12\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{6}
\]

### Step 2: Determine the tangent of the reference angle

Now, we know that \(\frac{13\pi}{6}\) has the same tangent value as \(\frac{\pi}{6}\) because \(\tan(\theta + 2\pi) = \tan(\theta)\).

\[
\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}
\]

### Conclusion

\[
\tan\left(\frac{13\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}
\]

Or, in a simplified form:

\[
\tan\left(\frac{13\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}
\]
