I Promise It's True

Hey folks... first of all, Happy New Year!  I hope to return to this blog to give you some mathematical insight that you can take with you through your everyday life.
Now, suppose I gave you these two mathematical statements...

1) 401 * 5 = 13 + 1998

2) 4022/2 = 1000 + 1005

I am telling you these statements are both true.  Can you explain why?

Have a wonderful evening and I hope to hear some responses.
