12 Divided by 7 equals 12 over 7 or 1.714285. 7 can only go into 12, one time. if we subtract 7 from 12 we get 5 which is the remainder. There is no way it can be 2 because 7 plus 2 equals 9. 1 x 7 + 5 equals 12 which isn't 1.714285. 2 x 7 + 4 equals 18 which also isn't 1.714285. Same with 2 x 5 + 5. That equals 15 which isn't 1.714285.
