Division worksheets by grade
| Grade | What children practice | Settings to use |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 3 | Division facts within 100, linked to times tables | Mixed division facts, dividing by 6 |
| Grade 4 | Up to 4-digit numbers divided by 1-digit numbers, with remainders | 2-digit by 1-digit, 3-digit by 1-digit with remainders |
| Grade 5 | Up to 4-digit numbers divided by 2-digit numbers | 4-digit by 2-digit |
| Grade 6 | Fluent multi-digit division with the standard algorithm | 5-digit by 2-digit |
Grades follow the Common Core math standards: 3.OA.C.7 (divide within 100), 4.NBT.B.6 (quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors), 5.NBT.B.6 (two-digit divisors) and 6.NS.B.2 (the standard algorithm).
Division words: dividend, divisor, quotient and remainder
In 57 ÷ 4 = 14 R1, 57 is the dividend (the number being shared), 4 is the divisor (how many groups), 14 is the quotient (the answer) and 1 is the remainder (what is left over). Check it: 4 × 14 + 1 = 57.
Division facts worksheets: 132 facts in 11 tables
Division facts are the multiplication facts turned around, so each fact belongs to a family of four. If a child knows 6 × 8 = 48, the same family gives 8 × 6 = 48, 48 ÷ 6 = 8 and 48 ÷ 8 = 6. The generator’s division facts use divisors from 2 to 12 and quotients from 1 to 12, which gives 11 × 12 = 132 facts in all, and each table has the same number:
| Divisor | Facts with quotients 1 to 12 | Matching times table | Example fact family |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 12 | 2 times table | 2 × 8 = 16, 8 × 2 = 16, 16 ÷ 2 = 8, 16 ÷ 8 = 2 |
| 3 | 12 | 3 times table | 3 × 8 = 24, 8 × 3 = 24, 24 ÷ 3 = 8, 24 ÷ 8 = 3 |
| 4 | 12 | 4 times table | 4 × 8 = 32, 8 × 4 = 32, 32 ÷ 4 = 8, 32 ÷ 8 = 4 |
| 5 | 12 | 5 times table | 5 × 8 = 40, 8 × 5 = 40, 40 ÷ 5 = 8, 40 ÷ 8 = 5 |
| 6 | 12 | 6 times table | 6 × 8 = 48, 8 × 6 = 48, 48 ÷ 6 = 8, 48 ÷ 8 = 6 |
| 7 | 12 | 7 times table | 7 × 8 = 56, 8 × 7 = 56, 56 ÷ 7 = 8, 56 ÷ 8 = 7 |
| 8 | 12 | 8 times table | 8 × 7 = 56, 7 × 8 = 56, 56 ÷ 8 = 7, 56 ÷ 7 = 8 |
| 9 | 12 | 9 times table | 9 × 8 = 72, 8 × 9 = 72, 72 ÷ 9 = 8, 72 ÷ 8 = 9 |
| 10 | 12 | 10 times table | 10 × 8 = 80, 8 × 10 = 80, 80 ÷ 10 = 8, 80 ÷ 8 = 10 |
| 11 | 12 | 11 times table | 11 × 8 = 88, 8 × 11 = 88, 88 ÷ 11 = 8, 88 ÷ 8 = 11 |
| 12 | 12 | 12 times table | 12 × 8 = 96, 8 × 12 = 96, 96 ÷ 12 = 8, 96 ÷ 8 = 12 |
Choose one table for focused practice, or “Mixed facts” for a drill. Division facts worksheets work best when the child has already learned the matching times table, so see the multiplication worksheets page first.
Division worksheets with remainders: what is left over?
A remainder is always smaller than the divisor. If you divide by 4, the remainder can be 0, 1, 2 or 3, and never 4 or more, because a remainder of 4 would make another full group. That gives children a built-in check. This table lists the possible remainders for each one-digit divisor:
| Divisor | Possible remainders | Number of remainders |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 0, 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 0, 1, 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 0, 1, 2, 3 | 4 |
| 5 | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 | 5 |
| 6 | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | 6 |
| 7 | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 | 7 |
| 8 | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 | 8 |
| 9 | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | 9 |
On the “Every problem” setting, every problem leaves a remainder, from 1 up to one less than the divisor. On “Some problems”, about half have one. The answer key writes it as “R”, for example 14 R1.
Division worksheets grade 4: how many different problems?
In grade 4 children divide up to four-digit numbers by one-digit numbers (4.NBT.B.6). The generator can make a very large number of different problems, so each printout is new. This table is counted from the generator’s rules for each type of problem:
| Division type | Different problems with no remainder | Different problems with a remainder on every one |
|---|---|---|
| 2-digit ÷ 1-digit | 164 | 532 |
| 3-digit ÷ 1-digit | 1,645 | 5,534 |
| 4-digit ÷ 1-digit | 16,461 | 55,526 |
| 3-digit ÷ 2-digit | 2,104 | 75,785 |
With thousands of possible problems for every type, you can print one worksheet a day for a school year and never repeat a problem. For long division with the bracket layout, see the long division worksheets page, and for background see Wikipedia’s division article.
Printable division worksheets: how to choose the setting
- Start with facts. Choose a single table, such as 6 or 7, with no remainders.
- Move to two digits. Choose 2-digit by 1-digit with no remainders, and then add remainders.
- Change the layout. Horizontal problems suit mental math, missing-number problems link division to multiplication, and the bracket layout suits long division.
- Time the facts. Turn on the timed drill with 40 or 100 problems, and track the score from day to day.
Types of division worksheets you can print
- Division facts for one table (for example ÷ 7) or mixed facts, with an optional timed drill.
- 2-digit by 1-digit division with no remainders, for a first step beyond facts.
- Division with remainders, on every problem or on some, written as “R”.
- Long division with the bracket layout. See long division worksheets for step-by-step help.
- Missing number (☐ ÷ 6 = 8 or 48 ÷ ☐ = 8).
- Mixed multiplication and division on one page.
Tips for teaching division
- Teach division as sharing into equal groups, and as the opposite of multiplication.
- Learn each division fact alongside its times table: 6 × 8 = 48, so 48 ÷ 6 = 8.
- Introduce remainders with real objects: 13 sweets shared by 4 children gives 3 each and 1 left over.
- Always check with multiplication: quotient × divisor + remainder = dividend.
Common division mistakes
- Remainders bigger than the divisor: if the remainder is as big as the divisor, the quotient is too small.
- Swapping the numbers: 48 ÷ 6 is not the same as 6 ÷ 48. Say it as “48 shared into 6 groups”.
- Forgetting zeros in the quotient: in 612 ÷ 6 = 102, the 0 in the middle matters.
- Not checking: multiply back every time. These division worksheets include an answer key so children can check their own work.
