49 times what equals 58?

49 times what equals 58? In other words, what do you multiply by 49 to get 58? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "49 times what equals 58?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

49 • x = 58

Which can be written as:

49x = 58

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 49 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 49.

49x/49 = 58/49

49x/49 is x and 58/49 is 1.1837 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 1.1837

Thus, the answer to "49 times what equals 58?" is 1.1837.

To double-check our work, multiply 1.1837 by 49 to see that it equals 58. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
