Divide 935 by 9, which is 103 R8. The remainder is how many pencils were donated to the library. So, 103 pencils were donated to the school and 8 pencils were donated to the library.

the problem deals with a division and the rest of it, that is dividing the total amount of pencils into 9 classrooms and the rest, lets express it as fraction:
935/9 = 103 + 8/9
that is, if we multiply 103*9 we get 927 and are 8 pencils left over, therefore, 8 pencils are donated to the library and each classroom gets 103 pencils, in total 935 pencils are donated.
