Total number of cars with Stephen = 24

Stephen gave 4 cars to his brother,

24-4 = 20 cars are left with Stephen.

Then, Stephen divided 4 equally among his friends.

That means Stephen divided 4 cars among the friends.

So,
(24-4)/(5) = 4

So, Stephen divided 4 miniature cars among 5 friends.

The expression
(24-4)/(5) = 4 denotes the words given in the above context.
