46 times what equals 31?

46 times what equals 31? In other words, what do you multiply by 46 to get 31? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "46 times what equals 31?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

46 • x = 31

Which can be written as:

46x = 31

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 46 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 46.

46x/46 = 31/46

46x/46 is x and 31/46 is 0.6739 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 0.6739

Thus, the answer to "46 times what equals 31?" is 0.6739.

To double-check our work, multiply 0.6739 by 46 to see that it equals 31. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
