1 times what equals 25?

1 times what equals 25? In other words, what do you multiply by 1 to get 25? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "1 times what equals 25?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

1 • x = 25

Which can be written as:

1x = 25

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 1 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 = 25/1

1x/1 is x and 25/1 is 25 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 25

Thus, the answer to "1 times what equals 25?" is 25.

To double-check our work, multiply 25 by 1 to see that it equals 25. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
