Given :

There are 23 red shirts and 16 white shirts they will be put onto shelves in piles of 8.

To Find :

How many shirts will not fit evenly into 8 piles.

Solution :

We need to find the number of shirts which will not fit evenly into 8 piles.

What we need is the remainder of 23 divided by 8.

23 = 8×2 + 7

So, their are 7 shirts which will not fit evenly.

Hence, this is the required solution.
