The video tutorial explores the problem of distributing 49 candies among boys. Initially, attempts are made to distribute the candies in groups of five and six, but these are unsuccessful. Finally, it is determined that distributing seven candies to each of seven boys is successful, as 7 times 7 equals 49. The tutorial concludes by using the fact family to verify the solution and calculates the number of girls by subtracting the number of boys from the total number of children.
