There is 64 plastic miniature dinosaur in a bag.

It's required to establish if it's possible to distribute them equally into 6 storage containers with no leftovers.

If it was possible, 64 should be divisible by 6 and it's not:

64 / 6 = 10.67

We should put 10,67 dinosaurs in each container and it's not possible.

If we could leave 4 dinosaurs out, then we could place 10 dinosaurs on each container, but the conditions won't allow leftovers

Thus, the answer is NO
