Why is that on debt value when finding current debt market value you always have to divide by 100?

Unless told otherwise (which is unlikely) debt is always traded in units with a nominal/par value of $100. Therefore the MV of one unit is the MV for $100 nominal. All of this is explained in detail in my free lectures. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FM and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
