7 times what equals 82?
7 times what equals 82? In other words, what do you multiply by 7 to get 82? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "7 times what equals 82?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:
7 • x = 82
Which can be written as:
7x = 82
To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 7 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 7.
7x/7 = 82/7
7x/7 is x and 82/7 is 11.7143 which means our equation will look like this:
x = 11.7143
Thus, the answer to "7 times what equals 82?" is 11.7143.
To double-check our work, multiply 11.7143 by 7 to see that it equals 82. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
