86 Divided by What Equals 41?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 41?Solving 86 Divided by What Equals 41Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:86x=41\frac{86}{x} = 41x86=41The 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=41∗x86 = 41*x86=41∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 41:8641=x\frac{86}{41} = x4186=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=2.098x = 2.098x=2.098Practice 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 98 equals 27?37 divided by what equals 53?What is 2/7 divided by 91?What is 1/16 divided by 6/19?What is 99 divided by 5/9?
