Default How do I break down a number by multiples in Excel?

I am using Excel 2003

I have a worksheet that allows me to QC the items that we fabricate and keep
an accurate count when they are loaded onto a truck. The "quantity" column
can have very high numbers which do not allow any room for the individual
piece count in the other columns. Plus, it can cause errors for multiple
deliveries on different trucks.

Is there a way to type in a quanty of 48 and have excel break it down to
four rows of 10 and one row of 8? I would also need the information on the
row that "48" was enterd on and have it copied to the other rows of 10 and 8.
I'm looking for a maximum of 10 for every line item that is entered or copied
to a worksheet.

For example:

NAME QTY NOTES
M165 48 TS6x6x1/2

NAME QTY NOTES
M165 10 TS6x6x1/2
M165 10 TS6x6x1/2
M165 10 TS6x6x1/2
M165 10 TS6x6x1/2
M165 8 TS6x6x1/2

Can this be done?
