3 divided by what equals 1?

3 divided by what equals 1? In other words, you have 3 and you divide it by something and then you get 1. What is that something?

We will call that something "X". Here is the equation to find the solution:

		3
		X

= 1

First, multiply both sides by X to get rid of the X as denominator.

		3(X)
		X

= 1(X)

3 = 1X

Then, divide both sides by 1 to get X by itself as follows:

		3
		1

		1X
		1

3 = X

Thus, the answer to "3 divided by what equals 1?" is 3.
