Use this page when you want 3 digit by 1 digit long division worksheets in the next thirty seconds: choose how many problems you want, press print, and the answer key comes out on its own page behind the worksheet. The current sheet starts with problems like 526 ÷ 9 and 230 ÷ 7, and the answers (58 R 4 and 32 R 6) are printed on the key so marking takes about a minute.
‘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.
This sheet uses three-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, so the procedure is exercised without the sheet becoming a copying marathon — 300 ÷ 6 is a fair example of it.
Estimation is not optional here. Before starting 230 ÷ 7, a rough answer tells the child how many digits 32 R 6 should have, which catches the most damaging class of error immediately.
Each generated sheet mixes divisions that come out exactly with divisions that leave a remainder, so the child cannot assume either outcome.
Long division is the longest procedure in elementary arithmetic and the one where a single slip is fatal. Working 526 ÷ 9 correctly to 58 R 4 means running divide, multiply, subtract and bring-down in order, several times, without losing place.
In US classrooms these 3 digit by 1 digit long division worksheets are commonly aligned with the multi-digit division expectations for this grade, though the exact wording varies from state to state.
| # | Problem | Answer | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 526 ÷ 9 = | 58 R 4 | Watch for: bringing down two digits at once |
| 2 | 230 ÷ 7 = | 32 R 6 | Check: subtraction slips inside a correct method |
| 3 | 141 ÷ 4 = | 35 R 1 | Look at: not checking by multiplying back |
| 4 | 270 ÷ 3 = | 90 | Ask about: forgetting a zero in the quotient |
| 5 | 300 ÷ 6 = | 50 | Watch for: misaligning the quotient digits |
| 6 | 168 ÷ 3 = | 56 | Check: giving up when the first digit does not divide |
Work 270 ÷ 3 out loud as a demonstration. It gives 90. Children who hear 270 ÷ 3 reasoned through once at the start of a session make noticeably fewer errors in the ten minutes that follow.
Try 141 ÷ 4 together before letting the child start alone. The answer to 141 ÷ 4 is 35 R 1, and talking through how it was reached takes about a minute and saves several minutes of guessing later in the sheet.
Answers appear next to their question numbers, so a wrong item like 230 ÷ 7 can be found in the key in a second and re-worked while it is still fresh.
The key prints on its own page by default. Uncheck the answer-key box before printing if you would rather keep it back and mark the sheet yourself.
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 526 ÷ 9 from a neighbour.
If the problems look cramped, drop the count from 20 to a smaller number before printing these 3 digit by 1 digit long division worksheets; the font stays the same size and the spacing opens up.
Print a sheet of 3 digit by 1 digit long division worksheets, run it for 10 minutes, mark it together, and come back tomorrow for a different set of numbers on the same skill.
