The wording of your posting suggests that you skipped some words.
If the quotient of two numbers, a%2Fb , is 5 times their product,
then b=sqrt%285%29%2F5 , and a is any number,
OR a=0 and b is any non-zero number.
That would qualify as a trick question.
A more usual problem would state that the quotient of two numbers is 57 less than 5 times their product, or something like that.
Check the wording, and post the intended question.
