Sam, Carl and Erik share 40 sweets. Erik gets the largest share. What is the smallest share Erik could get?

14 sweets: Dividing 40 by 3 (number of people you have) gives you 13 remainder 1. Adding the remainder sweet to Erik’s total of 13 means he has the largest share of 14 opposed to Sam and Carl’s 13 sweets.
