45 times what equals 74?

45 times what equals 74? In other words, what do you multiply by 45 to get 74? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "45 times what equals 74?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

45 • x = 74

Which can be written as:

45x = 74

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 45 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 45.

45x/45 = 74/45

45x/45 is x and 74/45 is 1.6444 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 1.6444

Thus, the answer to "45 times what equals 74?" is 1.6444.

To double-check our work, multiply 1.6444 by 45 to see that it equals 74. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
