What two numbers have a product of 8 and a quotient of 54?

Here is how to get the answer to "What two numbers have a product of 8 and a quotient of 54?" We show you step-by-step how find the answer so you can solve problems like this on your own in the future.

We will call the two numbers we are looking for x and y, and we will start by making two equations like this:

Equation 1: Two numbers have a product of 8, means:

x • y = 8

Equation 2: Two numbers have a quotient of 54, means:

x / y = 54
x = 54y

Then, we put Equation 2 into Equation 1. We do this by substituting x in x • y = 8 with 54y, like this:

x • y = 8
54y • y = 8
y = 0.3849

Finally, since y = 0.3849, we put 0.3849 into Equation 1 by substituting y in x • y = 8 with 0.3849, like this:

x • 0.3849 = 8
x = 20.78461

Thus, the answer is "0.3849 and 20.78461" as illustrated here:

20.78461 • 0.3849 = 8

20.78461 / 0.3849 = 54

Note: Answers are rounded up to the nearest 6 decimals if necessary, so the answers may not be exact.
