ANSWER:

The answer is detailed in the step-by-step explanation

Explanation:

The division is the operation that allows us to distribute in equal parts. To solve these types of questions, an operation known as division is used, which is represented by the divided symbol ÷. On many occasions the division into equal parts is not exact, that is, some units may be left over.

As you can see in the illustration below, you can form four groups each of three candies, and there are two left over that cannot be put in any group, since they would no longer be distributed in equal parts.
