Answer: The next number in the following should be 8.
Step-by-step explanation: This is because you are first starting with the number 5,000. According to the problem you are dividing each number by 5, 5000/5 = 1000, 1000/5 = 200, 200/5 = 40... etc. So, in this case you will divide 40/5 will equal 8.
