Find the solution. Select the correct next step. \( 448=56 x \) \( x=56 \) \( x=7 \) \( x=8 \)

To solve \( 448 = 56 \times x \), we need to isolate \( x \). Dividing both sides by 56, we find \( x = \frac{448}{56} \). When you perform this calculation, you find that \( x = 8 \). So the correct next step is \( x=8 \)! To grasp why this calculation works, think of it like sharing 448 candies equally among 56 friends. Each friend would receive a specific amount—8 candies, to be exact! This approach aligns perfectly with the division's goal: to find how many times 56 fits into 448.
