40 students are going on a field trip to the aquarium. Every student needs to be in a group, and all groups must have the same number of students.

To determine how the students can be grouped, we need to find the divisors of 40, since each group must have an equal number of students.

The divisors of 40 are:
- 1
- 2
- 4
- 5
- 8
- 10
- 20
- 40

This means the students can be divided into groups of 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, or 40 students.

Would you like details on how to form these groups or any further assistance?

Here are some related questions you might consider:
1. How many groups would there be if each group had 8 students?
2. What if the total number of students was 42 instead of 40? 
3. What is the smallest number of groups possible?
4. How many different ways can the students be grouped?
5. What if there are 45 students and you still need equal groups?
6. If you wanted to form 5 groups, how many students would each group have?
7. How do you determine the divisors of a number?
8. What would be the implications of having groups that aren't equal in size?

**Tip:** When dividing a set number of items into equal groups, always start by identifying the divisors of the total number.
