This rule tells us simply that if we have a number divided by 1, our answer will equal that number regardless of what that number is. We don't even have to pay that much attention to the number we are dividing. We just have to make sure that when dividing any number by 1, we remember the answer is always itself.

Dividing by 1 is a basic mathematical operation where a number is split into equal parts based on a divisor of 1. When you divide a number by 1, the result is the number itself, as there is no change in value. This is because 1 is the multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged. For example, 10 ÷ 1 = 10. In many programming languages and calculators, dividing by 1 is treated as an error or returns the original number, as it's a redundant operation.
