1. There's a link to Abbott and Costello doing the same bit, but different numbers

must be a very old vaudeville bit

3. Its a pretty good bit, it works in many cases by

ignoring place

14 * 5 = 25

When

(1 * 5) + (4 * 5) is used.

or (1 + 4) * 5 = 25

By the one not being in the 10's place, it actually works.

Same with division, or multiplication.

25 divided by 5

can give you a 1 by removing one five, leaving 20, then there is 4 more, but the original 1 is put in the 10's place instead of adding it to the other 1's place 4
