The answer is 12 because 10 +2 is twelve
When you are dividing, sometimes the answer doesn't come out evenly. We call the part that's left over the remainder. 12 divided by 5 = 2, with 2 left over 12/5 = 2, Remainder 2
2 x 6 + 0 = 12 2 x 1 + 2 = 4 4 is not [divisible by] 8, so 60 is not divisible by 8. (The remainder when 60 is divided by 8 is 4). To test divisibility by 8: Add together the hundreds digit multiplied by 4, the tens digit multiplied by 2 and the units (ones) digit. If this sum is divisible by 8 so is the original number. (Otherwise the remainder of this sum divided by 8 is the remainder when the original number is divided by 8.) If you repeat this sum on the sum until a single digit remains, then if that digit is 8, the original number is divisible by 8 otherwise it gives the remainder when the original number is divided by 8 (except if the single digit is 9, in which case the remainder is 9 - 8 = 1).

To find out how many times 12 can go into 74, you would perform division. 74 divided by 12 equals 6 with a remainder of 2. This means that 12 can go into 74 a total of 6 times, with a remainder of 2.
If you are given a sum with a remainder, for example, 17 / 5 = 3 remainder 2, then you can convert the number to a mixed number by putting the remainder as the numerator of the fraction, and the divisor as the denominator of the fraction. At this point, the fractional part of the sum can easily be turned into a decimal by dividing the numerator of the fraction by the denominator - therefore, 17 / 5 = 3 2/5 or 3.4.
