How to work it out

Ask how many times 8 fits into 43. 8 × 5 = 40, and 8 × 6 = 48 is too big, so 8 goes into 43 exactly 5 times with 43 − 40 = 3 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 3 is 3/8 of another 8, and 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375. So 43 ÷ 8 = 5 + 0.375 = 5.375.

Multiply back: 5 × 8 + 3 = 40 + 3 = 43. ✓
