Solution

Writing the equation
A statement of equality which involves one or more variables is called an equation.
Let the number be $x$
The number divided by $7$ $\Rightarrow \frac{x}{7}$
A number divided by $7$ is equal to $8$
Thus the equation is $\Rightarrow \frac{x}{7} = 8$
The LHS of the equation is $\frac{x}{7}$ and RHS of the equation is $8$
Hence the required equation is $\frac{x}{7} = 8$
