Intermediate

Work out how many cartons an order needs, and what's left in the last one

CEILING rounds a box count up to the next whole carton; MOD catches the partial box that plain division alone can't tell you about.

Task:

You handle order fulfillment at Thistle & Co, a home-and-gift wholesaler that ships every SKU in cartons of a fixed unit capacity. This week's orders are in front of you, each with its order quantity and how many units fit in one carton. Work out how many cartons each order needs in column D, and how many units land in the last, possibly-partial carton in column E.
