1. Let's understand the problem: we want to find why dividing 56 by 0.07 results in 800. 2. Division means determining how many times the divisor fits into the dividend. Here, the dividend is 56 and the divisor is 0.07. 3. To simplify the division, multiply both the dividend and divisor by the same number to make the divisor a whole number. Multiply both by 100: $$56 \times 100 = 5600$$ and $$0.07 \times 100 = 7$$. 4. Now, the division becomes $$\frac{5600}{7}$$. 5. Divide 5600 by 7: $$\frac{5600}{7} = 800$$. 6. Therefore, dividing 56 by 0.07 equals 800 because multiplying numerator and denominator by 100 scales the problem to a simpler equivalent division.
