- [0](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/lessons/145-remainder-round-up/0/) — Dividing with a remainder gives full groups and some left over: 50 ÷ 8 = 6 remainder 2.
- [1](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/lessons/145-remainder-round-up/1/) — What to answer depends on the question: if everyone must get a place, the 2 left over need one more boat, so 50 children in boats of 8 need 6 + 1 = 7 boats.
- [2](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/lessons/145-remainder-round-up/2/) — But if the question asks how many full boxes, the remainder is simply left out: 50 eggs fill 6 boxes of 8.
