Solved together
884 chalk sticks are shared by 8 classes. How many does each class get?
Start from the left. 8 hundreds ÷ 8 = 1 hundred.
8 ÷ 8 = 18 tens ÷ 8 = 1 ten.
8 ÷ 8 = 14 ones ÷ 8: none fit. Write 0, and 4 are left over.
884 ÷ 8 = 110, left over 4Check: 110 × 8 + 4 = 884. ✓
AnswerEach class gets 110, with 4 left over.
