61 Divided by What Equals 2?MethodsSetting up the problem:In a problem like this, the “what” means that we’re working with a variable. The most common variable used in math is “x”. So we could say what number, x can we divide 61 by to equal 2?Solving 61 Divided by What Equals 2Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:61x=2\frac{61}{x} = 2x61=2The goal of the problem is to solve for x. To do this we need to change the equation so that x is alone on one side of the equation.In this case, it can be done in two steps. The first step is to multiply both sides by x to isolate 61:61=2∗x61 = 2*x61=2∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 2:612=x\frac{61}{2} = x261=xWhen we simplify the new equation, we can solve for x. In this example, we will round to the nearest three decimal places if that’s needed.x=30.500x = 30.500x=30.500Practice Other Division Problems Like This OneIf this problem was a little difficult or you want to practice your skills on another one, give it a go on any one of these too!What divided by 40 equals 93?44 divided by what equals 18?What is 14/12 divided by 80?What is 16/5 divided by 13/9?What is 41 divided by 8/19?
