37 times what equals 18?

37 times what equals 18? In other words, what do you multiply by 37 to get 18? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "37 times what equals 18?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

37 • x = 18

Which can be written as:

37x = 18

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 37 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 37.

37x/37 = 18/37

37x/37 is x and 18/37 is 0.4865 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 0.4865
