- Let the total number of students be $$ n = 93 $$ and the number of classrooms be $$ k = 4 $$.

- We divide the students equally by calculating the quotient and the remainder:
  $$
  q = \left\lfloor \frac{n}{k} \right\rfloor = \left\lfloor \frac{93}{4} \right\rfloor = 23
  $$
  $$
  r = n - k \times q = 93 - 4 \times 23 = 93 - 92 = 1
  $$

- The quotient $$ q $$ represents the minimum number of students in every classroom. The remainder $$ r $$ indicates that $$ r $$ classrooms will have one extra student.

- Therefore:
  - $$ r = 1 $$ classroom will have $$ q + 1 = 23 + 1 = 24 $$ students.
  - The remaining $$ k - r = 4 - 1 = 3 $$ classrooms will have $$ 23 $$ students each.

Thus, the classrooms will have:
- One classroom with $$ 24 $$ students
- Three classrooms with $$ 23 $$ students each.
Each classroom will have either 23 or 24 students. Specifically, one classroom has 24 students, and the other three have 23 students each.
