The answer can be calculated with the help of prime factors.The prime factors of 203 is 1, 7, 29 and 203.

203 is evenly divisible by 7 and 29

so,7 children can get 29 apples equally or 29 children can get 7 apples equally.

So, if 7 children are present, each will get 29 apples

if 29 children are present, each will get 7 apples

if 203 children are present, each will get 1 apple
