What is in this set

The numbers in this set run from 3 to 330.
A careful solution takes 2 written steps on average.
The mistake this set invites most often, in 100% of the problems: the numbers were multiplied; one box holds the total shared out between the boxes.
Answers are a whole number.

Drawing 240 problems from this page produced 162 different ones, 68% — so a sheet of 20 is a new sheet almost every time.
