You might try a named formula.

From the Menu Bar,
<Insert <Name <Define
In the "Names In Workbook: box, type
numb

*Change*whatever's in the "Refers To" box to,
=5
Then <OK

Now, in any cell enter,
=numb
And you'll get a return of 5.

So,
=10*numb
Will return 50.

=numb/2
Will return 2.5

To change the value, just repeat the above procedure and change the value
in the "Refers To" box.
