How to work it out

Ask how many times 8 fits into 50. 8 × 6 = 48, and 8 × 7 = 56 is too big, so 8 goes into 50 exactly 6 times with 50 − 48 = 2 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 2 is 2/8 of another 8, and 2 ÷ 8 = 0.25. So 50 ÷ 8 = 6 + 0.25 = 6.25.

Multiply back: 6 × 8 + 2 = 48 + 2 = 50. ✓
