Long Division Practice Questions
Use paper for the working. Some questions divide exactly and others have a remainder.
How to Answer Long Division Questions
- Start with the leftmost digit or group large enough for the divisor.
- Write how many times the divisor fits above that position.
- Multiply the new quotient digit by the divisor and subtract.
- Bring down the next dividend digit and repeat.
- When no digits remain, record any leftover as the remainder.
How to Check Every Answer
Multiply the divisor by the whole-number quotient, then add the remainder. The total must equal the original dividend. The remainder must also be zero or greater and smaller than the divisor.
For example, 157 ÷ 12 = 13 remainder 1. The check is 12×13 + 1 = 157.
Common Long Division Mistakes
- Skipping a zero in the quotient when the divisor does not fit into a place.
- Subtracting the wrong multiplication fact.
- Forgetting to bring down exactly one digit at a time.
- Reporting a remainder equal to or greater than the divisor.
