We shall get 1 by multiplying with

Let x be the number to which when is multiplied, we shall get 1.


We need to find x.


So, formulate it into a mathematical equation using operators and numbers.


x is multiplied with can be written as,



Or,



Now, when x is multiplied with , we get 1. That is,



To solve for x, multiply 8 on both sides.



5x = 8


Dividing 5 on both sides to leave x idle, we get
