What value divided by 7 equals 8?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 7 × 8 = 56

To prove this, let's compute 56 divided by 7: $\frac{56}{7} = 8$

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 7 gives a result of 8 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{x}{7} = 8$

We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 7: $\frac{7 x}{7} = 7 \times 8$
$\frac{7 x}{7}$ is equivalent to $\frac{7}{7} x$ , which simplifies to $1 x$ (or just $x$ ).
Thus: $x = 7 \times 8 = 56$

So, if the divisor is 7 and the quotient is 8, the dividend is 56.
