How to work it out

Ask how many times 12 fits into 68. 12 × 5 = 60, and 12 × 6 = 72 is too big, so 12 goes into 68 exactly 5 times with 68 − 60 = 8 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 8 is 8/12 of another 12, and 8 ÷ 12 = about 0.6667. So 68 ÷ 12 = 5 + 0.6667 = about 5.6667.
