This trick is basically the fraction equivalent of 5. 2/10 is 5, so any no. divided by 2/10 means it's divided by 5.

Hi Ayan! Just note that 2/10 is actually 1/5, not 5!

[@tulkinjonkazakov4502]

how about exponents divided by 5?

[@MagooshGMAT]

This video would not apply to most very large exponents, where there will likely be no easy trick for dividing by 5. For those, you'll want to know the laws of exponents!
