Empty box is allowed

So, number of ways of distributing \mathrm{'n'} distinct objects among \mathrm{'r'}identical places such that each one is filled with zero or more things is \mathrm{r^{n}}

Here, number of chocolates \mathrm{n=8}
number of students \mathrm{r=4}

Using the equation, we obtain: \mathrm{r^{n}=4^{8}}
Total number of ways: \mathrm{(65536) 4^{8}}
