How to work it out

Ask how many times 3 fits into 50. 3 × 16 = 48, and 3 × 17 = 51 is too big, so 3 goes into 50 exactly 16 times with 50 − 48 = 2 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 2 is 2/3 of another 3, and 2 ÷ 3 = about 0.6667. So 50 ÷ 3 = 16 + 0.6667 = about 16.6667.
