How to work it out

Ask how many times 3 fits into 83. 3 × 27 = 81, and 3 × 28 = 84 is too big, so 3 goes into 83 exactly 27 times with 83 − 81 = 2 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 2 is 2/3 of another 3, and 2 ÷ 3 = about 0.6667. So 83 ÷ 3 = 27 + 0.6667 = about 27.6667.
