43 times what equals 3?

43 times what equals 3? In other words, what do you multiply by 43 to get 3? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "43 times what equals 3?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

43 • x = 3

Which can be written as:

43x = 3

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 43 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 43.

43x/43 = 3/43

43x/43 is x and 3/43 is 0.0698 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 0.0698

Thus, the answer to "43 times what equals 3?" is 0.0698.

To double-check our work, multiply 0.0698 by 43 to see that it equals 3. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
