About this worksheet
Division shares a number into equal groups, and when the numbers do not share exactly, some are left over: 47 ÷ 5 = 9 with 2 left over, written 9 R 2. The remainder is always smaller than the number you divide by. On this fifth grade sheet a child divides nine numbers by a one-digit number, working each in a long division bracket, and writes the quotient and the remainder above it.
Each version has different problems, and the answer key gives every quotient and remainder.
What your child will learn
- Divide by a one-digit number
- Write the quotient and the remainder
- Check with multiplication and addition
- Know that the remainder is smaller than the divisor
Common Core standard: 5.NBT.B.6
Worked example
47 ÷ 5 = 9 R 2, because 5 × 9 = 45 and 45 + 2 = 47.
Common mistake
Writing a remainder as large as the divisor, which means one more group could be made.
Helpful hint
Multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder. You should get the number you started with.
