How to work it out

Ask how many times 3 fits into 46. 3 × 15 = 45, and 3 × 16 = 48 is too big, so 3 goes into 46 exactly 15 times with 46 − 45 = 1 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 1 is 1/3 of another 3, and 1 ÷ 3 = about 0.3333. So 46 ÷ 3 = 15 + 0.3333 = about 15.3333.
