Aubrey was sorting books for the garage sale. she had 831 books and wanted to put them in 5 equal boxes. how many books would fit in each box. how many books would be leftover

So to find out how many books would fit into one box you would have to divide 831/5.

831/5 = 166

So 166 x 5 = 830

That means there would only be 1 book left.

Hope this Helps!!
