How to work it out

Ask how many times 12 fits into 20. 12 × 1 = 12, and 12 × 2 = 24 is too big, so 12 goes into 20 exactly 1 times with 20 − 12 = 8 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 8 is 8/12 of another 12, and 8 ÷ 12 = about 0.6667. So 20 ÷ 12 = 1 + 0.6667 = about 1.6667.
