How it works: a quick refresher
For the adult at the table. These are the rules the worksheet practices, followed by one problem worked from start to finish.
| Strategy | How it works |
|---|---|
| Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down | Repeat these four steps for each digit of the dividend, left to right. |
| Write each digit above its place | The first quotient digit goes above the last digit you used, so the places line up. |
| Use a zero when it does not go | If the divisor does not fit into the current number, write 0 in the quotient and bring down the next digit. |
| The remainder is smaller than the divisor | If it is not, the last quotient digit can go up by one. |
| Check by multiplying | quotient × divisor + remainder should equal the dividend. |
Worked example
Find 95 ÷ 4.
- Divide: 4 goes into 9 two times. Write 2 above the 9.
- Multiply and subtract: 2 × 4 = 8, and 9 − 8 = 1.
- Bring down the 5 to make 15. 4 goes into 15 three times. Write 3 above the 5.
- 3 × 4 = 12, and 15 − 12 = 3. Nothing is left to bring down, so the remainder is 3.
- 95 ÷ 4 = 23 R 3. Check: 23 × 4 + 3 = 95.

Common questions
- Is there an answer key?
- Yes. Every worksheet has a matching answer key with each answer worked on the same grid or layout as the question. The worksheet ID printed at the bottom of each page pairs a sheet with its key.
- Why no commas in the dividends?
- Long division is worked digit by digit under the bracket, and a comma gets in the way of the working, so the numbers are written without one.
- Does the key show the working?
- The key shows the quotient and remainder. Check the working with the multiplication step: quotient times divisor, plus remainder, equals the dividend.
- How many different versions are there?
- About a million per skill. Each time you press the button the problems are generated fresh, so you can print a different version for every student, a retake, or another night of practice.
- Are the worksheets free?
- Yes. They are free to print and copy for your home or classroom, with no sign-up.
