To find out how many times 12 goes into 43, you can perform the division:
\[ 43 \div 12 \approx 3.5833 \]
This means that 12 goes into 43 a total of 3 times, with a remainder.
To find the exact remainder, you can calculate:
\[ 12 \times 3 = 36 \]
Subtract this from 43:
\[ 43 - 36 = 7 \]
So, 12 goes into 43 three times with a remainder of 7.
