How to work it out

Ask how many times 5 fits into 83. 5 × 16 = 80, and 5 × 17 = 85 is too big, so 5 goes into 83 exactly 16 times with 83 − 80 = 3 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 3 is 3/5 of another 5, and 3 ÷ 5 = 0.6. So 83 ÷ 5 = 16 + 0.6 = 16.6.

Multiply back: 16 × 5 + 3 = 80 + 3 = 83. ✓
