What two numbers have a product of 8 and a quotient of 8?

Here is how to get the answer to "What two numbers have a product of 8 and a quotient of 8?" We show you step-by-step how find the answer so you can solve problems like this on your own in the future.

We will call the two numbers we are looking for x and y, and we will start by making two equations like this:

Equation 1: Two numbers have a product of 8, means:

x • y = 8

Equation 2: Two numbers have a quotient of 8, means:

x / y = 8
x = 8y

Then, we put Equation 2 into Equation 1. We do this by substituting x in x • y = 8 with 8y, like this:

x • y = 8
8y • y = 8
y = 1

Finally, since y = 1, we put 1 into Equation 1 by substituting y in x • y = 8 with 1, like this:

x • 1 = 8
x = 8

Thus, the answer is "1 and 8" as illustrated here:

8 • 1 = 8

8 / 1 = 8

Note: Answers are rounded up to the nearest 6 decimals if necessary, so the answers may not be exact.
