Does anyone get what this means 5n / 5n I have to find the numerical value of it and it has to be an actual number without any fractions or indices Also, what does the / mean in it?

I dont get why they didn't use a division sign for that question when they did for others.. and yeah I have no idea how to work it out because I don't know what 5n means

/ is common online because the division sign ÷ is just not as simple to type.
More often though, we just write a fraction to symbolise division. For instance, ‘x’ divided by ‘y’ is yx.
As for your question, 5n is just an algebraic way of expressing any number you choose. The ‘n’ here essentially means ‘any number you want goes here’
So n is just any number. Which means 5 lots of it, ie 5n, is just any number as well.
I think what the question is trying to get at is for you think about what value do we get when we divide any number by itself. The answer is a nice simple number.
