Dividing by 8 Worksheets

If you need dividing by 8 worksheets that you can print right now, this page builds them for you — 20 fresh problems, an answer key underneath, and no account to create first. Right now the generator is set to problems such as 88 ÷ 8 (answer 11) and 40 ÷ 8 (answer 5); press the button again and the numbers change while the skill stays the same.

📄 DIVIDING BY 8 WORKSHEET — 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 the sheet contains

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

The problems here use dividing multiples of 8 by 8. Where a remainder appears, the sheet writes it explicitly so the child has to state both parts of the answer.

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.

There are two everyday meanings of division: sharing between groups, and measuring how many groups fit. A child who only holds the first is stumped when 24 ÷ 8 is phrased the second way.

Teachers usually place dividing by 8 worksheets alongside the division expectations for this grade, which is where the skill sits in the majority of US state frameworks.

What the problems look like

These six come from the sheet loaded on this page. Press the button and the numbers change, but the shape stays the same (dividing multiples of 8 by 8).
#ProblemAnswerWhat to check
188 ÷ 8 =11Watch for: losing zeros in the quotient
240 ÷ 8 =5Check: writing the remainder as a decimal by accident
324 ÷ 8 =3Look at: searching the tables one by one
464 ÷ 8 =8Ask about: dropping the remainder
532 ÷ 8 =4Watch for: guessing the quotient and not adjusting
68 ÷ 8 =1Check: reversing the two numbers

Try one together first

A good first problem to do together is 88 ÷ 8, which comes out at 11. Do 88 ÷ 8 once with the child narrating, then hand over the pencil and start the clock on the other 20 problems.

Here is one worked through. 40 ÷ 8 gives 5. If your child arrives somewhere other than 5 on 40 ÷ 8, look at the working rather than the answer: nearly every wrong result comes from a skipped step, not an unknown fact.

The three errors worth watching for

How to use these worksheets at home

  1. Re-print the same skill rather than the same sheet. Because the numbers change, a child who memorised that 88 ÷ 8 gives 11 still has to actually calculate tomorrow.
  2. Use a pencil, not a pen. Children working on dividing by 8 rethink far more often when erasing is allowed, and you get to see exactly where the rethinking happened on an item like 24 ÷ 8.
  3. Write the finish time and the score at the top of every sheet. Two weeks of those two numbers tells you more about progress on dividing by 8 than any single test result.
  4. Read the first two problems out loud together before starting the clock. It costs fifteen seconds and removes most of the 'I did not understand the question' errors.
  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.

The answer key

The answer key is generated with the worksheet, not written by hand, so it always matches the sheet in front of you — 88 ÷ 8 is listed as 11, 40 ÷ 8 as 5, and so on down the page.

Answers appear next to their question numbers, so a wrong item like 40 ÷ 8 can be found in the key in a second and re-worked while it is still fresh.

Printing and saving as PDF

The sheet is laid out to fit one page on both US Letter and A4. Leave the browser scaling at 100% and turn headers and footers off, and the 20 problems land inside the margins on either paper size.

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 88 ÷ 8 from a neighbour.

Frequently asked questions

Are these worksheets really free?
Yes, completely. The page is supported by advertising, not by subscriptions, so there is no limit on how many dividing by 8 worksheets you print.
Will these print correctly on A4?
Yes. These dividing by 8 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.
How can I make division faster?
Improve the times tables. Division speed is almost entirely a function of multiplication recall, which is why the table pages are linked below.
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 dividing by 8 as on the matching multiplication.

When these become easy, move along the related links below rather than adding more problems to the same sheet.
