Answer:

1,408 packs can be made, and 2 pens will be left out.

Explanation:

Given that a manufacturer has 5,634 pens to divide into packs of 4 pens, and the manufacturer makes as many packs as possible, to determine how many packs of pens does the manufacturer make, and how many pens are left over, the following must be done calculation:

5.634 / 4 = X

1,408.5 = X

5,634 - (1,408 x 4) = X

5.634 - 5.632 = X

2 = X

Therefore, 1,408 packs can be made, and 2 pens will be left out.
