"12 remainder 3" is the result of a division. We would need to know the numbers involved in the division before we could answer this.
There are many ways this number could arise
- 87 / 7 = 12 remainder three, which would be 12.42857
- 207 / 17 = 12 remainder three, which would be 12.17647
If you mean 12 and one-third then the answer is 12.3333 (the 3 recurs endlessly).

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.
The decimal for the fraction 200 over 3 is 66.666666... (repeating). To convert a fraction to a decimal, you divide the numerator (200) by the denominator (3). The division results in a quotient of 66 with a remainder of 2. Since the remainder is less than the divisor, you add a decimal point and zeros after the decimal to continue the division process, resulting in an infinite repeating decimal of 66.666666...
Convert the ratio to fraction first, then convert the fraction to decimal. Example: ratio = 3 : 4 3 : 4 = 3/4 = 0.75
You convert 98 base 10 into 1100010 base 2 the same way you convert any decimal number into a binary number. You iteratively divide by 2, recording the remainders in reverse order, until the quotient is zero.98 / 2 = 49 remainder 049 / 2 = 24 remainder 124 / 2 = 12 remainder 012 / 2 = 6 remainder 06 / 2 = 3 remainder 03 / 2 = 1 remainder 11 / 2 = 0 remainder 1So the result, reading backwards (up) is 1100010 base 2.and as an 8 bit value it would be 01100010.The more general answer is that, to convert a number in any base to any other base, iteratively divide the first number by the second base, using the rules of arithmetic of the first base, recording the remainders in reverse order, until the quotient is zero. The remainders then need to be written in terms of the second base.
