What value divided by 1 equals 8?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 1 and the quotient 8?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 1 × 8 = 8

To prove this, let's compute 8 divided by 1: 8 1 = 8

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 1 gives a result of 8 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 1 = 8

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 1: 1 x 1 = 1 × 8
  2. 1 x 1 is equivalent to 1 1 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 1 × 8 = 8

So, if the divisor is 1 and the quotient is 8, the dividend is 8.
