2 Digit by 1 Digit Division Worksheets

These 2 digit by 1 digit division worksheets are generated rather than scanned, which means you can print a different sheet every day of the week without paying for a subscription or running out of practice. The version loaded below opens with items in the shape of 15 ÷ 3 and 90 ÷ 9; the key lists 5 and 10 next to their question numbers.

📄 2 DIGIT BY 1 DIGIT DIVISION — A NEW SHEET EVERY TIME YOU PRESS THE BUTTON
🎲 New set of problems

‘New set of problems’ opens the generator in its own tab. There you can change the problem count and turn the answer key on or off. ‘Print or save as PDF’ opens the print dialog — choose Save as PDF in the printer list to keep the file. The sheet fits US Letter and A4, and the answer key prints on its own page.

What these worksheets cover

Because each sheet is new, the child cannot rely on having seen a particular quotient before.

Division is the operation that most rewards times-table fluency. If this page is slow, the fastest route to improvement runs through the times table sheets rather than through more division.

The problems here use a two-digit number divided by a one-digit number. Where a remainder appears, the sheet writes it explicitly so the child has to state both parts of the answer.

Checking is easy and almost nobody does it: multiply the answer back. If 10 times the divisor does not return the original number, something is wrong.

Teachers usually place 2 digit by 1 digit division worksheets alongside the division expectations for this grade, which is where the skill sits in the majority of US state frameworks.

Examples taken from this worksheet

These six come from the sheet loaded on this page. Press the button and the numbers change, but the shape stays the same (a two-digit number divided by a one-digit number).
#ProblemAnswerWhat to check
115 ÷ 3 =5Watch for: searching the tables one by one
290 ÷ 9 =10Check: losing zeros in the quotient
324 ÷ 4 =6Look at: reversing the two numbers
418 ÷ 2 =9Ask about: dropping the remainder
530 ÷ 3 =10Watch for: writing the remainder as a decimal by accident
618 ÷ 3 =6Check: guessing the quotient and not adjusting

One problem worked through

Here is one worked through. 90 ÷ 9 gives 10. If your child arrives somewhere other than 10 on 90 ÷ 9, look at the working rather than the answer: nearly every wrong result comes from a skipped step, not an unknown fact.

Take the first problem on the sheet as it stands, 15 ÷ 3. Work 15 ÷ 3 out on paper rather than in your head the first few times, say each step aloud, and check the result against 5 on the key before moving on.

Three things that go wrong here

How to use these worksheets at home

  1. Use a pencil, not a pen. Children working on two-digit division rethink far more often when erasing is allowed, and you get to see exactly where the rethinking happened on an item like 24 ÷ 4.
  2. Mark it together straight away while the working is still fresh, so a slip like the one behind 24 ÷ 4 can be talked through instead of guessed at.
  3. Do not raise the number of problems until the accuracy is steady. Going from 20 correct-but-slow problems to more problems only multiplies the same mistake.
  4. Re-print the same skill rather than the same sheet. Because the numbers change, a child who memorised that 15 ÷ 3 gives 5 still has to actually calculate tomorrow.
  5. Stop the session at the time limit even if the sheet is unfinished, and note where the child got to. A half sheet done well is better data than a whole sheet rushed.

Marking the sheet

The answer key is generated with the worksheet, not written by hand, so it always matches the sheet in front of you — 15 ÷ 3 is listed as 5, 90 ÷ 9 as 10, and so on down the page.

Answers appear next to their question numbers, so a wrong item like 90 ÷ 9 can be found in the key in a second and re-worked while it is still fresh.

How to print this worksheet

For a class set, print one sheet, press the new-worksheet button and print again. Each child gets different numbers on the same skill, so nobody can copy the answer to 15 ÷ 3 from a neighbour.

Printing works the same on US Letter and A4, because the layout uses relative widths rather than fixed inches. Set margins to default and scaling to 100%, and all 20 problems fit.

Frequently asked questions

Why is division so much harder than multiplication?
Because it requires the same facts in reverse plus a decision about remainders. Children typically need two to three times as long per problem on two-digit division as on the matching multiplication.
Do I need an account to print these worksheets?
No. There is no sign-up, no email and no download step — the 2 digit by 1 digit division worksheets are built in your browser and go straight to your printer or to a PDF file.
Should remainders be written as R, as fractions or as decimals?
Follow the school's convention. This sheet uses the R form because it is the one used when division is first taught.
Will these print correctly on A4?
Yes. These 2 digit by 1 digit division worksheets fit both A4 and US Letter without clipping, as long as print scaling is left at 100% and browser headers and footers are switched off.

Keep the finished 2 digit by 1 digit division worksheets in date order — the drop in time across ten sheets is the clearest progress report you will get.
