Solution

Total number of cows = 290
Number of farms = 12
To find the number of cows in each farm, we have to divide 290 by 12.

$\begin{matrix} 2412290 - 24 - - - 50 - 48 - - - 2 \end{matrix}$ Thus, we have a quotient of 24 and a remainder of 2.
So each farm will have 24 cows and 2 cows will be left out.
