Using the formula: \[ \text{Quotient} = \frac{56}{8} \]
\[ \text{Quotient} = 7 \]
Therefore, the result of dividing 56 by 8 is 7.

Exercise:
A farmer has a field of rectangular shape with a length of 250 meters and a width of 120 meters. He wants to divide the field into smaller rectangular plots of equal area. Each plot should have a width of 20 meters.
Formula:
Area = Length × Width
Objective:
Determine the number of plots that can be created within the field.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Calculate the total area of the field: - Area = Length × Width - Area = 250 meters × 120 meters - Area = 30,000 square meters
2. Calculate the area of each plot: - Area of each plot = Width of plot × Length of plot - Area of each plot = 20 meters × (unknown length)
3. Divide the total area of the field by the area of each plot to find the number of plots: - Number of plots = Total area of field ÷ Area of each plot - Number of plots = 30,000 square meters ÷ (20 meters × Length of plot)
4. Solve for the length of each plot: - Length of plot = 30,000 square meters ÷ (20 meters × Number of plots)
5. Substitute the given width of 20 meters and the length obtained in step 4 to find the number of plots: - Number of plots = 30,000 square meters ÷ (20 meters × Length of plot) - Number of plots = 30,000 square meters ÷ (20 meters × 150 meters) - Number of plots = 100 plots
Therefore, the farmer can create 100 plots of equal area within the field.
