83 times what equals 90?

83 times what equals 90? In other words, what do you multiply by 83 to get 90? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "83 times what equals 90?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

83 • x = 90

Which can be written as:

83x = 90

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 83 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 83.

83x/83 = 90/83

83x/83 is x and 90/83 is 1.0843 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 1.0843

Thus, the answer to "83 times what equals 90?" is 1.0843.

To double-check our work, multiply 1.0843 by 83 to see that it equals 90. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
