About this worksheet

Long division with multi-digit numbers. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

I can divide a 3-, 4- or 5-digit number by a 2-digit number and write every quotient digit in its own column.
I can write a 0 in the answer when the divisor does not fit, and bring down every digit.
I can write a remainder that is smaller than the divisor, and decide when a remainder means one more group.

Standard: 6.NS.B.2

Words to know

dividend: The number being divided. In 4,824 ÷ 24 it is 4,824.

divisor: The number you divide by. In 4,824 ÷ 24 it is 24.

quotient: The answer to a division.

remainder: What is left over when the groups do not fit exactly. It is always smaller than the divisor.

place-value column: Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands: where each digit sits.

Common mistakes

Your child left a 0 out of the answer. Try this together: when the number you bring down is too small for the divisor, write a 0 in the answer above that column. Then multiply the divisor by the answer to see if you get the start number back.

Your child stopped before bringing down the last digit of the number being divided. Try ticking each digit off as it is brought down, so the ones column is always used.

Your child ended with a remainder as big as, or bigger than, the number they divided by. Try asking: could another whole group fit in what is left over?
