16 times what equals 75?

16 times what equals 75? In other words, what do you multiply by 16 to get 75? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "16 times what equals 75?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

16 • x = 75

Which can be written as:

16x = 75

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 16 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 16.

16x/16 = 75/16

16x/16 is x and 75/16 is 4.6875 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 4.6875

Thus, the answer to "16 times what equals 75?" is 4.6875.

To double-check our work, multiply 4.6875 by 16 to see that it equals 75. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
