92 times what equals 42?

92 times what equals 42? In other words, what do you multiply by 92 to get 42? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "92 times what equals 42?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

92 • x = 42

Which can be written as:

92x = 42

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 92 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 92.

92x/92 = 42/92

92x/92 is x and 42/92 is 0.4565 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 0.4565

Thus, the answer to "92 times what equals 42?" is 0.4565.

To double-check our work, multiply 0.4565 by 92 to see that it equals 42. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
