- [1](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/lessons/162-dividing-big-numbers/1/) — 816 eggs in trays of 24: 24 × 30 = 720 leaves 96, and 96 = 24 × 4, so there are 30 + 4 = 34 trays.
- [2](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/lessons/162-dividing-big-numbers/2/) — Check by multiplying back: 34 × 24 = 816.
