Floor Division and Remainder
Two operators are especially useful for splitting things evenly:
//floor division — divides and drops anything after the decimal point%modulo — gives back the remainder left over
print(17 // 5)
print(17 % 5)
prints:
3
2
(17 split into groups of 5 makes 3 whole groups, with 2 left over.)
Your turn: read two numbers, total and groups. Print how many whole groups fit (total // groups), then print how many are left over (total % groups).
