Division Practice
Dividing multi-digit numbers and decimals
In long division, divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down the next digit, repeating until no digits are left. If a place cannot be divided, write a zero in the quotient. Check a division by multiplying the quotient by the divisor and adding any remainder.
Worked examples
- 156 ÷ 12 = 13, since 12 × 13 = 156.
- 618 ÷ 6: 6 goes into 6 once, then 1 cannot be divided by 6, so write 0, then 18 ÷ 6 = 3. The answer is 103.
- 7 ÷ 2 = 3.5, since 2 × 3.5 = 7.
Common slips
- Leaving out the zero in the quotient, so 103 becomes 13.
- Forgetting the remainder or writing it as part of the quotient.
- Shifting the decimal point the wrong way when dividing by a decimal.
How to use this worksheet
Ask students to check each answer by multiplying and compare with the answer key.

Start with No remainders for fact-family fluency, then switch to Mixed or Require a remainder when students are ready to interpret leftovers. Every generated remainder is smaller than its divisor.
Use a lower maximum divisor for early fact-family work, then move toward 10 or 12 for broader recall practice.
A remainder must always be smaller than the divisor; a remainder of 5 with divisor 4 means the trial quotient was one too low. This checks against CCSS 3.OA.A.3 and 4.NBT.B.6.
Interpreting the remainder is its own skill: 17 items shared among 4 is '4 each with 1 left over', not 4.25, unless the context allows a fraction or decimal.
A fresh version at the same settings works well for quick checks because students see a comparable difficulty without simply repeating the exact same sequence of facts.

Questions people ask
Can I make division worksheets with remainders?
Yes. Choose Mixed exact + remainders or Require a remainder. The answer key writes remainder answers in a clear format such as 7 R 2.
Which grade level is this for?
Division facts are CCSS 3.OA.C.7. Finding whole-number quotients and remainders with multi-digit dividends is 4.NBT.B.6.
Can I choose the largest divisor?
Yes. Use the factor/divisor control to set the maximum divisor used in the generated problems.
Can I download the worksheet as a PDF?
Yes. Download PDF creates the worksheet in your browser, with an optional separate answer-key page. Print remains available as a separate option.
