                    Example. Lata  distributed  126 chocolates equally  among  6 children. How many
                    chocolates did each child get?

                    Solution. Total number of chocolates
                                             = 126                          2 1    (Q)

                    Number of children = 6                           6    1 2 6

                    Number of chocolates each child got                – 1 2
                                             = 126 ÷ 6                      0 6
                                                                          – 0 6
                                             = 21                             0    (R)

                    Thus, each child got 21 chocolates.
