What Divided By 39 Equals 438

Solving What Divided by 39 Equals 438

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

$\frac{x}{39}=438$

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 $39$, resulting in this equation:

$x = 438 \times 39$

Then we simplify and find our answer:

$x = 17082$

So, the answer to the question “What divided by $39$ equals $438$?” is $17082$. To prove this, we can take the original problem:

$\frac{x}{39} = 438$

And insert $17082$ in the place of $x$:

$\frac{17082}{39} = 438$

Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
