To find the number that, when multiplied by 146, gives 120, we can set up the equation:
\[ x \times 146 = 120 \]
To solve for \(x\), we can divide both sides by 146:
\[ x = \frac{120}{146} \]
Simplifying this fraction:
\[ x = \frac{60}{73} \]
Thus, the number that when multiplied by 146 gives 120 is:
\[ \frac{60}{73} \]
