How to work it out

Ask how many times 12 fits into 74. 12 × 6 = 72, and 12 × 7 = 84 is too big, so 12 goes into 74 exactly 6 times with 74 − 72 = 2 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 2 is 2/12 of another 12, and 2 ÷ 12 = about 0.1667. So 74 ÷ 12 = 6 + 0.1667 = about 6.1667.
