8 times what equals 76?


8 times what equals 76? In other words, what do you multiply by 8 to get 76? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "8 times what equals 76?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

8 • x = 76

Which can be written as:

8x = 76

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 8 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 8.

8x/8 = 76/8

8x/8 is x and 76/8 is 9.5 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 9.5

Thus, the answer to "8 times what equals 76?" is 9.5.


To double-check our work, multiply 9.5 by 8 to see that it equals 76. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
