To find out how many boxes Jacob had to use, we need to divide the number of remaining games by the number of games that can be packed into each box.

First, we need to calculate the number of games Jacob had left after selling forty-four of them.
Starting with 2,068 and subtracting 44, we get:
2,068 - 44 = 2,024 games

Next, we need to determine how many boxes can be filled with eight games each.
We divide the remaining number of games (2,024) by the number of games that can be packed into each box (8):
2,024 ÷ 8 = 253 boxes

Therefore, Jacob had to use 253 boxes to pack up the remaining games.
