#24# grams leftover and there will be 52 bags.

Your question is how many full bags are available in terms of 38 gram packs from less than 2000 grams sum.

Now:

#2000/38= 52.63#

Since you only need full (38 grams) paks, your answer is 52 bags.

What is the leftover amount?

L#=2000 - (52times38) = 2000 - 1976 = 24# grams.

Your leftover part is 24 grams.
