10 * 20 * 500 = 200 * (1,000/2 )

= 100 * 1,000 = 100,000
So a carton has 500 boxes, a box has 20 packages, a package has 10 pencil.

500*20*10=....
a factory packs pencils into cartons of 100 and into boxes of 10 they an order for 2750 pencils how can they ship the order to the customer in the fewest amount of packages
