    This is simple, just divide 5,000 by 210

    5000 : 210 = 23.809

    23.809 = 23.81

    23.81 = 23.8

    23.8 = 23

    Thats for staplers being full, now for how many is left

    It would be 170, for that, you have to subtract:

    5000 - (210 · 23) = 170

    5000 - 4830 = 170

    170

    Your answer would be:

    23 staplers would be full and 170 staples were left
