Well, darling, if you want to feel like a math whiz, the answer is 40. You take that number, divide it by 8, and bam, you get your precious 5. Now go impress your friends with your newfound math skills, you're welcome.
5 over (8 divided by 40) = 5 over 5 = 1 (5 over 8) divided by 40 = 0.625 divided by 40 = 0.015625

5 over 8 divided by 1 over 8 is 5.
Well, Randy, that is forty (40)
8 2/5 divided by 14 is 3/5 or 0.6

The series appears to be decreasing by progressively smaller factors. Each number is obtained by dividing the previous number by a decreasing factor: 5000 divided by 5 gives 1000, 1000 divided by 5 gives 200, and 200 divided by 5 gives 40. Continuing this pattern, 40 divided by 5 gives 8, so the next number in the series is 8.

280 divided by 35 equals 8. To work it out, I can simplify the division by recognizing that both numbers can be reduced: 280 divided by 5 gives 56, and 35 divided by 5 gives 7. Then, dividing 56 by 7 results in 8. Alternatively, I can perform the division directly, which confirms that 35 goes into 280 exactly 8 times.
