Answer:

2

Explanation:

You want to know the number of marbles Shawn had left after giving away equal numbers from his collection of 1898 marbles to each of 8 friends.

Remainder

Assuming Shawn only kept marbles that he could not distribute equally, the number he had left is the remainder from division of 1898 by 8.

1898 = 237·8 +2

Shawn had 2 marbles left after giving 237 marbles to each of 8 friends.
