1 times what equals 43?

1 times what equals 43? In other words, what do you multiply by 1 to get 43? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "1 times what equals 43?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

1 • x = 43

Which can be written as:

1x = 43

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 = 43/1

1x/1 is x and 43/1 is 43 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 43

Thus, the answer to "1 times what equals 43?" is 43.

To double-check our work, multiply 43 by 1 to see that it equals 43. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
