Question

I went to the store to buy candy for my family. If I bought a total of 42 pieces of candy and I give my family of five the most pieces of candy each, how many pieces of candy do I have leftover for myself?

Answer 1

You will have 2 pieces left for yourself.
because 42 divided by 5 will not give you a whole number you set aside two because 40 is divisible by 5 leaving you with the whole number of 8 pieces for each family member and two remaining for yourself.
