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:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 1 gives a result of 8 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 1:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 1 and the quotient is 8, the dividend is 8.
