Using integer division (the kind you learned before you learned long division with decimals) divide 17370 by 24. The quotient is the number of boxes that will be filled and the remainder is the number of items left over.

If you can't remember how to do integer division, try this on your calculator:

Enter 17370, press the 'divide' key, then enter 24 and press the 'equals' key. Write down the whole number part of the answer -- the part to the left of the decimal point. That is the number of boxes that will be filled. Then subtract that whole number from the number on your calculator, leaving you with a decimal fraction. Multiply that decimal fraction by 24 to get the number of left over items.
