If any number is divided by ________ the answer is the number itself.a...
The correct answer is option 'B'.
Explanation:
When any number is divided by 1, the quotient is always equal to the number itself. This is because 1 is called the identity element for multiplication.
Identity Element:
An identity element is a number that, when combined with another number using a specific operation, leaves the other number unchanged. In multiplication, the identity element is 1. When any number is multiplied by 1, the result is always the number itself.
Example:
Let's take the number 8 as an example.
When we divide 8 by 1, the quotient is 8.
8 ÷ 1 = 8
Similarly, if we divide any number by 1, the quotient will always be the number itself.
Properties of Division:
- Division is the inverse operation of multiplication. If we have the equation a ÷ b = c, then c multiplied by b will give us a.
- Division by zero is undefined. It is not possible to divide any number by zero.
Conclusion:
When any number is divided by 1, the quotient is always equal to the number itself. Therefore, the correct answer to the given question is option 'B' - one.
