If the answer is L * W * H then why do you have to divide once you get to H to get the correct answer?

Answer:

Hi! I'm not quite sure what you entirely mean by this but I'll try to help. LxWxH is a formula used to find the volume of a rectangular prism or a box. If this is what you are using it for then there shouldn't a reason to divide. Unless maybe you're trying to find half of a box or you are trying to find the value of one of these in an equation but that's the only thing I can think of. Do you think you might be able to post an example in the comments?
