How to work it out

Ask how many times 12 fits into 86. 12 × 7 = 84, and 12 × 8 = 96 is too big, so 12 goes into 86 exactly 7 times with 86 − 84 = 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 86 ÷ 12 = 7 + 0.1667 = about 7.1667.
