Long division: 20 problems a sheet, 3 versions that do not repeat each other where the numbers allow.

How to use it

  1. Look at the sheet: it is a real, printable sheet. Switch between Sheet A, B and C, or press New numbers (N) for a fresh set.
  2. Change how many problems, how many versions, and whether the key prints. Settings stay in this browser; Share copies a link that rebuilds the same sheets.
  3. Press Print sheet A and key, or Print all. The answer key prints on its own page, so you can keep it back.

Ideas for class

  • Teach the steps as a cycle: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down. Put the four verbs on the wall.
  • Ask students to check every answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor and adding the remainder.
  • Use grid paper turned sideways, so the digits line up in columns.

Questions

Can a problem have no remainder?

Yes. When the dividend is a multiple of the divisor the key shows only the quotient. If you want none, open the sheet in the maker and set Remainders to No remainders.

How should students write remainders?

Use a quotient, then R, then the remainder, such as 121 R 3. Some schools write the remainder as a fraction, and the key is easy to rewrite that way.

Are the answer keys checked?

Each answer is worked out by the code that wrote the problem, and our tests recompute every answer a second way and compare. Please still look over the key before you grade a class set.

What this worksheet covers

In this long division sheet each problem divides a three-digit number by a single digit, such as 971 ÷ 8, and many leave a remainder. Stacked, the problem prints inside the division bracket with space above for the quotient and below for the work. The key shows the answer as a quotient and remainder, for example 121 R 3, which is the form most classrooms accept.

Who it is for

Fourth grade. Common Core 4.NBT.B.6 asks for whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors. Students should be fluent with their facts, and with multiplying by multiples of ten, before starting.

Dividing a three-digit number by a single digit, with remainders · grade 4

A worked example

971 ÷ 8. 8 goes into 9 once, with 1 left over. Bring down the 7 to make 17: 8 goes into 17 twice, with 1 left. Bring down the 1 to make 11: 8 goes into 11 once, with 3 left. The answer is 121 remainder 3. Check: 121 × 8 + 3 = 971.

Mistakes to watch for

  • Forgetting a zero in the quotient when a step does not divide, so 307 becomes 37. Count the digits of the quotient against an estimate.
  • Leaving a remainder as large as the divisor. If the remainder is not smaller than the divisor, the quotient digit was too small.
