0 Thus we need 1234 trays.
Example 7: 374776 items are to be packed in trays. 16 items can be
packed in a tray. How many complete trays be packed?
How many items are left behind?
Solution: For 16 items we need 1 tray.
Number of complete trays = Quotient of 374776 ÷ 16.
The remainder will be the number of items left behind.
