ones

Explanation:

Step1: Divide 7 by 5 (whole part)

We find the largest integer $q$ such that $5q \leq 7$. That integer is 1, since $5\times1=5 \leq7$ and $5\times2=10>7$.

Step2: Identify whole loaves per person

The quotient from the whole number division is the number of whole loaves each person gets.
