56 times what equals 31?

56 times what equals 31? In other words, what do you multiply by 56 to get 31? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "56 times what equals 31?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

56 • x = 31

Which can be written as:

56x = 31

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 56 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 56.

56x/56 = 31/56

56x/56 is x and 31/56 is 0.5536 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 0.5536

Thus, the answer to "56 times what equals 31?" is 0.5536.

To double-check our work, multiply 0.5536 by 56 to see that it equals 31. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
