Fill in the Blank

A corporate accountant is calculating the annual simple interest rate on a loan of 5,000 dollars used for facility repairs. Over 4 years, the loan accrued 800 dollars in interest. Following the standard problem-solving strategy, the accountant substitutes these values into the formula I=PrtI = Prt to get 800=(5,000)r(4){}800 = (5{,}000)r(4). To solve for the interest rate rr, the next step is to multiply the principal and the time, and then divide both sides of the equation by ____.
