26 times what equals 57?

26 times what equals 57? In other words, what do you multiply by 26 to get 57? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "26 times what equals 57?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

26 • x = 57

Which can be written as:

26x = 57

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 26 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 26.

26x/26 = 57/26

26x/26 is x and 57/26 is 2.1923 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 2.1923

Thus, the answer to "26 times what equals 57?" is 2.1923.

To double-check our work, multiply 2.1923 by 26 to see that it equals 57. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
