What Divided by 64 Equals 2?
Methods
Setting 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, when divided by 64, equals 2?
Solving What Divided by 64 Equals 2
Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:
x
64
=
2
\frac{x}{64} = 2
64 x = 2
The 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, we can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by 64, resulting in this equation:
x
=
2
∗
64
x = 2*64
x = 2 ∗ 64
Then we simplify and find our answer:
x
=
128
x = 128
x = 128
So, the answer to the question “What divided by 64 equals 2?” is 128.To prove this, we can take the original problem:
x
64
=
2
\frac{x}{64} = 2
64 x = 2
And insert 128 in the place of x:
128
64
=
2
\frac{128}{64} = 2
64 128 = 2
Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
