What Divided By 26 Equals 636

Solving What Divided by 26 Equals 636

Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:

$\frac{x}{26}=636$

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 $26$, resulting in this equation:

$x = 636 \times 26$

Then we simplify and find our answer:

$x = 16536$

So, the answer to the question “What divided by $26$ equals $636$?” is $16536$. To prove this, we can take the original problem:

$\frac{x}{26} = 636$

And insert $16536$ in the place of $x$:

$\frac{16536}{26} = 636$

Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
