86 Divided by What Equals 64?MethodsSetting up the problem:In a problem like this, the “what” means that we’re working with a variable. The most common variable used in math is “x”. So we could say what number, x can we divide 86 by to equal 64?Solving 86 Divided by What Equals 64Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:86x=64\frac{86}{x} = 64x86=64The goal of the problem is to solve for x. To do this we need to change the equation so that x is alone on one side of the equation.In this case, it can be done in two steps. The first step is to multiply both sides by x to isolate 86:86=64∗x86 = 64*x86=64∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 64:8664=x\frac{86}{64} = x6486=xWhen we simplify the new equation, we can solve for x. In this example, we will round to the nearest three decimal places if that’s needed.x=1.344x = 1.344x=1.344Practice Other Division Problems Like This OneIf this problem was a little difficult or you want to practice your skills on another one, give it a go on any one of these too!What divided by 71 equals 30?13 divided by what equals 57?What is 19/17 divided by 16?What is 18/10 divided by 14/13?What is 37 divided by 1/20?
