81 times what equals 26?

81 times what equals 26? In other words, what do you multiply by 81 to get 26? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "81 times what equals 26?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

81 • x = 26

Which can be written as:

81x = 26

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 81 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 81.

81x/81 = 26/81

81x/81 is x and 26/81 is 0.321 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 0.321

Thus, the answer to "81 times what equals 26?" is 0.321.

To double-check our work, multiply 0.321 by 81 to see that it equals 26. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
