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
