Dividend rate= (dividend per share / face value) X 100. If we knw the share cap amount then we can find by using above formula.

No. Of shares outstanding = dividend amount / dividend rate. This gives you the value of share capital. Divide that by fv of each share, that gives you the number of outstanding shares.
