24168/6=4028. First, look at the green 2, the only combination of 4*6 that multiplies to a number in the 20s is 24. The divisor can only be 4 or 6, but 4 multiplied by the last digit 8 of the quotient gives 32, and there is no 3 in the given number, so the divisor can only be 6. The rest is easy to deduce.

  This is a long division puzzle. You're trying to figure out what numbers go in the yellow boxes using the green tiles at the bottom.    From the clues:    The quotient (the answer on top) ends in 8 and starts with 2.    The remainder is 0, so it divides evenly.    You’re dividing a 4-digit number by a 1-digit number.      Let’s test out 248 ÷ 4 = 62… Nope, that’s the wrong way.    But if we multiply 248 × 4 = 992, that makes more sense — that would be the full number being divided.    So:    The big number inside the division (the dividend) is 992    The number outside (the divisor) is 4    The answer up top (the quotient) is 248    And the remainder is 0, just like the puzzle shows.      So just pop in:    2 4 8 across the top    4 on the left    9 9 2 inside the bracket

From the clues:

The quotient (the answer on top) ends in 8 and starts with 2.

The remainder is 0, so it divides evenly.

You’re dividing a 4-digit number by a 1-digit number.

Let’s test out 248 ÷ 4 = 62… Nope, that’s the wrong way.

But if we multiply 248 × 4 = 992, that makes more sense — that would be the full number being divided.

So:

The big number inside the division (the dividend) is 992

The number outside (the divisor) is 4

The answer up top (the quotient) is 248

And the remainder is 0, just like the puzzle shows.

So just pop in:

2 4 8 across the top

4 on the left

9 9 2 inside the bracket

does it make any sense here to post  an answer which an AI app like  chatgpt gives? the questioners can  use the app themselves to get such  an answer.
