The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 8/8 of 57, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: $\frac{8}{8}=\frac{x}{57}$ (where x represents 8/8 of 57)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $8\times 57=8x$
2. Which gives: $456=8x$
3. Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x: $\frac{456}{8}=\frac{8x}{8}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{456}{8}=x$ (or $\frac{57}{1}=x$)

Thus, 8/8 of 57 is equal to 57/1 (or 57 in its decimal form).
