Dividing Pizza Equally: Since there are $4$ friends and they divided the pizza evenly, each friend received $\frac{n}{4}$ slices of pizza.
Calculating Harris's Slices: Harris ate $1$ fewer slice than he received, so we subtract $1$ from the number of slices he received. $\newline$ Harris's slices = $(n/4) - 1$
Final Calculation: There is no need for further calculations as we have expressed the number of slices Harris ate as an algebraic expression.
