6 times what equals 34?

6 times what equals 34? In other words, what do you multiply by 6 to get 34? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "6 times what equals 34?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

6 • x = 34

Which can be written as:

6x = 34

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 6 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 6.

6x/6 = 34/6

6x/6 is x and 34/6 is 5.6667 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 5.6667

Thus, the answer to "6 times what equals 34?" is 5.6667.

To double-check our work, multiply 5.6667 by 6 to see that it equals 34. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
