Long Division Worksheets

Make long division practice fit the learner. Start with a one-digit divisor, work toward larger numbers, or add remainders when the learner is ready. Each worksheet leaves space for written calculations and comes with a matching answer key.

Use the sample below to see the layout, then open the generator to choose two-, three-, or four-digit dividends and one- or two-digit divisors. You can create another set whenever you need fresh practice.

A short set of questions with room to show every step.

How to choose the difficulty

For a gentler start, use two-digit dividends and a one-digit divisor, with exact answers. Increase the dividend size before introducing a two-digit divisor. Choose roomy spacing when learners need to write out every step.

What should a remainder look like?

A remainder is a nonnegative whole number smaller than the divisor. For example, 754 divided by 3 is 251 remainder 1 because 3 × 251 + 1 = 754. A remainder of 3 or more would mean another group of 3 could still be taken out.

Can I make a different worksheet?

Yes. The Long Division Worksheet Generator creates a new set using your selected settings. Preview the questions, show or hide the answers, then print or download a PDF in US Letter or A4 format.

ONE STEP AT A TIME

A worked example: 754 ÷ 3

Work from left to right. Divide, multiply, subtract, then bring down the next digit.

  1. Start with 7. Three goes into 7 twice. Write 2, then subtract 6 from 7 to leave 1.
  2. Bring down the 5. Now divide 15 by 3. Write 5, then subtract 15 to leave 0.
  3. Bring down the 4. Three goes into 4 once. Write 1, then subtract 3 to leave a remainder of 1.

754 ÷ 3 = 251 R1Check: 3 × 251 + 1 = 754.

The remainder must be smaller than the divisor. Here, 1 is smaller than 3.

Start with the right challenge

Begin with a one-digit divisor and exact answers. Then try remainders or a two-digit divisor when your learner is ready.
