The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 8/8 of 76, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: $\frac{8}{8}=\frac{x}{76}$ (where x represents 8/8 of 76)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $8\times 76=8x$
2. Which gives: $608=8x$
3. Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x: $\frac{608}{8}=\frac{8x}{8}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{608}{8}=x$ (or $\frac{76}{1}=x$)

Thus, 8/8 of 76 is equal to 76/1 (or 76 in its decimal form).
