Answer :

There are two ways to work this question out:

1. First you need to know how many times 7 can go into 56 and obviously 56 is in the 7 times table which is easy to find out. The answer would be 8. (7 * 8 = 56)

2. The other way is that you can just simply divide 56 by 7 which you will get the answer as 8.

I hope this helped! :)

*The answer is 8* because, If you divide 56/7 you get 8. If you have any more question like that always do the inverse operation. Example: 6 x ___= 42 the inverse or opposite operation is division because division is the opposite of multiplication like adding is to subtracting. So we would do 42/6 (Inverse operation) and we get 7. So, the answer to the question is 6 x *7* = 42. Hope this trick will help! (Subtraction & Division don't work the same! Only, Addition and Multiplication does!)
