How to work it out

Ask how many times 12 fits into 59. 12 × 4 = 48, and 12 × 5 = 60 is too big, so 12 goes into 59 exactly 4 times with 59 − 48 = 11 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 11 is 11/12 of another 12, and 11 ÷ 12 = about 0.9167. So 59 ÷ 12 = 4 + 0.9167 = about 4.9167.
