Division With Remainders Worksheets

Every sheet of division with remainders worksheets on this page is built the moment you open it, so the 20 problems below are not the same ones the last visitor printed, and the answer key is generated with them. The version loaded below opens with items in the shape of 67 ÷ 9 and 116 ÷ 9; the key lists 7 R 4 and 12 R 8 next to their question numbers.

📄 DIVISION WITH REMAINDERS WORKSHEETS — 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

Checking is easy and almost nobody does it: multiply the answer back. If 12 R 8 times the divisor does not return the original number, something is wrong.

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.

Division is multiplication read backwards, and a child who is fluent with the tables sees 67 ÷ 9 and produces 7 R 4 directly. A child who is not fluent has to search, and the search is what makes division feel slow and unpleasant.

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

Work of this kind is commonly aligned with the division expectations for this grade; schools outside the US meet the same skill at roughly the same age, which is why these division with remainders worksheets travel well.

Six problems from the sheet in front of you

These six come from the sheet loaded on this page. Press the button and the numbers change, but the shape stays the same (divisors 3 to 9 with remainders).
#ProblemAnswerWhat to check
167 ÷ 9 =7 R 4Watch for: dropping the remainder
2116 ÷ 9 =12 R 8Check: searching the tables one by one
332 ÷ 5 =6 R 2Look at: guessing the quotient and not adjusting
468 ÷ 6 =11 R 2Ask about: writing the remainder as a decimal by accident
524 ÷ 5 =4 R 4Watch for: losing zeros in the quotient
637 ÷ 6 =6 R 1Check: reversing the two numbers

A worked example from this sheet

Take the first problem on the sheet as it stands, 67 ÷ 9. Work 67 ÷ 9 out on paper rather than in your head the first few times, say each step aloud, and check the result against 7 R 4 on the key before moving on.

The item 116 ÷ 9 is worth doing slowly. The answer to 116 ÷ 9 is 12 R 8, and the route to it is the route every other problem on this sheet takes — which is why the sheet has 20 of them rather than one.

Three things that go wrong here

How to use these worksheets at home

  1. 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.
  2. Use a pencil, not a pen. Children working on division that leaves a remainder rethink far more often when erasing is allowed, and you get to see exactly where the rethinking happened on an item like 32 ÷ 5.
  3. Re-print the same skill rather than the same sheet. Because the numbers change, a child who memorised that 67 ÷ 9 gives 7 R 4 still has to actually calculate tomorrow.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 division that leaves a remainder than any single test result.

The answer key

Every generated sheet carries its own key on a separate printed page, which lets a child self-mark without seeing the answers while they work.

Answers appear next to their question numbers, so a wrong item like 116 ÷ 9 can be found in the key in a second and re-worked while it is still fresh.

How to print this worksheet

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

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.
Is the answer key included?
Yes, on its own page behind the worksheet. For the sheet loaded right now it shows 7 R 4 for 67 ÷ 9 and 12 R 8 for 116 ÷ 9.
Are these worksheets really free?
Yes, completely. The page is supported by advertising, not by subscriptions, so there is no limit on how many division with remainders worksheets you print.
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.
