58 Divided by What Equals 36?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 58 by to equal 36?Solving 58 Divided by What Equals 36Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:58x=36\frac{58}{x} = 36x58=36The 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 58:58=36∗x58 = 36*x58=36∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 36:5836=x\frac{58}{36} = x3658=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=1.611x = 1.611x=1.611Practice 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 73 equals 83?23 divided by what equals 46?What is 5/13 divided by 24?What is 8/9 divided by 7/3?What is 44 divided by 11/6?
