56 times what equals 65?

56 times what equals 65? In other words, what do you multiply by 56 to get 65? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "56 times what equals 65?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

56 • x = 65

Which can be written as:

56x = 65

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 = 65/56

56x/56 is x and 65/56 is 1.1607 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 1.1607

Thus, the answer to "56 times what equals 65?" is 1.1607.

To double-check our work, multiply 1.1607 by 56 to see that it equals 65. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
