How to work it out

Ask how many times 8 fits into 78. 8 × 9 = 72, and 8 × 10 = 80 is too big, so 8 goes into 78 exactly 9 times with 78 − 72 = 6 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 6 is 6/8 of another 8, and 6 ÷ 8 = 0.75. So 78 ÷ 8 = 9 + 0.75 = 9.75.

Multiply back: 9 × 8 + 6 = 72 + 6 = 78. ✓
