Maybe the direct object isn’t a 5, it could be a slice of a whole cheesecake cut into eight pieces. In that case (forgive my restrictive clause), multiples of the slice are equal to 1/8th. I would gladly eat eight pieces to demonstrate 1 whole…lol.
The multiplicative inverse is the difficult part. Undoing the damage of 8 slices to the love handle appendages could be tricky.
