W=Fd so when you divide both sides by Force and Work and take the reciprocal you get the equation F=W/d

You can't. Work is (force) times (distance), so you have to know something about the force. Just knowing the mass doesn't tell you anything about the force ... unless there's actually something else about the mass that you've overlooked.
W = f.s Work = force x distance w in neuton metres
Work = (force) x (distance). Time is not involved.But if that amount of work was done in that amount of time, then(force) x (distance)/(time) is the average power during that time.
I usually start with the definition of work: Work = force * distance so... Force = work / distance Distance = work / force So, no. You had it backwards.
Power = (work) divided by (time) If you don't know the amount of work, you can calculate it. Work = (force) times (distance).
