What is x when 56 divided by x equals 1?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 56 and the quotient 1?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 56 ÷ 1 = 56

To prove this, let's compute 56 divided by 56: 56 56 = 1

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 56 divided by x gives a result of 1, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

56 x = 1

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 56 x x = 1 x
  2. 56 x x is equivalent to x x × 56 , which simplifies to 1 × 56 (or just 56 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 56 = 1 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 1: 56 1 = 1 x 1
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 56 = x (or x = 56 )

So, if the dividend is 56 and the quotient is 1, the divisor is 56.
