25 times what equals 83?

25 times what equals 83? In other words, what do you multiply by 25 to get 83? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "25 times what equals 83?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

25 • x = 83

Which can be written as:

25x = 83

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 25 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 25.

25x/25 = 83/25

25x/25 is x and 83/25 is 3.32 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 3.32

Thus, the answer to "25 times what equals 83?" is 3.32.

To double-check our work, multiply 3.32 by 25 to see that it equals 83. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
