If I put 131 people in 131 boxes, I have one person in each box. (Until one jumps out)
Suppose x = n/n
The multiplication property of multiplication lets you say
nx = n
the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic states that any integer has a unique prime factorization. Thus, the prime factors of nx and n are the same, meaning that x=1
So, n/n = 1
