1. The baker wants to pack $$31$$ cupcakes into boxes that each hold $$6$$ cupcakes.
2. To determine the number of boxes that will be completely filled, we calculate the quotient when dividing $$31$$ by $$6$$:
   $$
   \text{Number of full boxes} = \left\lfloor \frac{31}{6} \right\rfloor = 5
   $$
3. To find the number of cupcakes left over, we calculate the remainder:
   $$
   \text{Cupcakes left} = 31 - 6 \times 5 = 31 - 30 = 1
   $$
4. Therefore, the baker fills $$5$$ boxes, and there is $$1$$ cupcake left over.
The baker fills 5 boxes and has 1 cupcake left over.
