Arithmetic Accuplacer Practice Test

To solve the division problem 56 ÷ 7, you are determining how many times 7 fits into 56.

When you perform the division, you can look for a number that, when multiplied by 7, equals 56. If you calculate the following:

- 1 × 7 = 7

- 2 × 7 = 14

- 3 × 7 = 21

- 4 × 7 = 28

- 5 × 7 = 35

- 6 × 7 = 42

- 7 × 7 = 49

- 8 × 7 = 56

It becomes clear that 8 is the number you are looking for since 8 multiplied by 7 gives you exactly 56. Therefore, this means that 56 divided by 7 equals 8.

Recognizing that 8 is the correct quotient emphasizes your understanding of basic arithmetic operations, specifically division, and how multiplication and division are interconnected. Thus, the correct choice is indeed 8.
