56 times what equals 51?

56 times what equals 51? In other words, what do you multiply by 56 to get 51? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "56 times what equals 51?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

56 • x = 51

Which can be written as:

56x = 51

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 = 51/56

56x/56 is x and 51/56 is 0.9107 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 0.9107

Thus, the answer to "56 times what equals 51?" is 0.9107.

To double-check our work, multiply 0.9107 by 56 to see that it equals 51. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
