A school principal ordered 1,000 pencils. He gave an equal number to each of 7 teachers untill had given out as many as possibe. How many pencils were left?
There will be 6 left. Take 1000 divided by 7 you get 142 and some Numbers. Then 142 time 7 which gives you 994. That's how many you gave out. 1000 - 994 equals 6 that is left over.
