The video tutorial explains how a farmer can pack 980 eggs into boxes that hold 6 eggs each. The process involves dividing the total number of eggs by the number of eggs per box to determine how many full boxes can be filled. The tutorial demonstrates the division process, resulting in 163 full boxes with 2 eggs leftover. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding division and remainders in practical scenarios.
