F/a=ma/a
M=f/a
Divide both sides by a to get m my itself

To find mass (m) as the subject from the formula F=ma, divide both sides by acceleration (a), giving m = F/a, assuming a is not zero.

To rearrange the formula F=ma using m as the quantity of interest, you'll want to isolate m on one side of the equation. This can be done by dividing both sides of the equation by a (assuming a \u2260 0). The resulting equation is:

m = F/a

This equation indicates that the mass m is equal to the force F divided by the acceleration a. If considering the insights into Newton's second law when it comes to rotational quantities, be sure to appropriately modify the expressions using rotational equivalents where a is replaced with radial acceleration.
