How to work it out

Ask how many times 8 fits into 87. 8 × 10 = 80, and 8 × 11 = 88 is too big, so 8 goes into 87 exactly 10 times with 87 − 80 = 7 left over.

Turning the remainder into a decimal

The remainder 7 is 7/8 of another 8, and 7 ÷ 8 = 0.875. So 87 ÷ 8 = 10 + 0.875 = 10.875.

Multiply back: 10 × 8 + 7 = 80 + 7 = 87. ✓
