How to work it out

Ask how many times 11 fits into 72. 11 × 6 = 66, and 11 × 7 = 77 is too big, so 11 goes into 72 exactly 6 times with 72 − 66 = 6 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 6 is 6/11 of another 11, and 6 ÷ 11 = about 0.5455. So 72 ÷ 11 = 6 + 0.5455 = about 6.5455.
