If you passed out 72,000 M&Ms equally to 9 people, then each person would get
the same number as if you had passed out 40,000 M&Ms equally to 5 people.
72,000/9 = 8000
40,000/5 = 8000
72000 shares a factor with 40000. This factor is 8000. By having one factor be the same, both of these equations, when divided by the factors NOT shared, will have the same quotient.

10% of 40000 is 4000 (divide it by 10) so half of that is 2000 (10 divided by 2 is 5)
To find 5 percent of a number, multiply the number by 0.05. In this instance, 0.05 x 800000 = 40000. Therefore, 5 percent of 800000 is equal to 40000.
5% of 40000 = 5% * 40000 = 0.05 * 40000 = 2000
214 divided by 5 equal in partial quotients = 42.8
485 divided by 5 equal in partial quotients = 97
