Question

A school principal ordered 1000 pencils he gave an equal number to each of seven teachers in till he had given out as many as possible how many pencils were left?

Answer 1

1000/7 would be the number form for the problem in order to solve this.
1000/7 is 142.857142857
Rounded, this would be .86
.86 would be considered "the remainder"
Therefore, 86 pencils were left.
So your answer is most logically 86
