📄 4TH GRADE LONG DIVISION 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.

The skill behind these problems

The four-step cycle is worth saying out loud for the first week: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down. Children who narrate the cycle make far fewer place errors than children who work silently.

This sheet uses three-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, so the procedure is exercised without the sheet becoming a copying marathon — 299 ÷ 6 is a fair example of it.

If the subtraction step is where things go wrong, the problem is subtraction rather than division, and it is worth stepping back to that page for a few days before returning to problems like 299 ÷ 6.

Long division is the longest procedure in elementary arithmetic and the one where a single slip is fatal. Working 603 ÷ 9 correctly to 67 means running divide, multiply, subtract and bring-down in order, several times, without losing place.

In US classrooms these 4th grade long division worksheets are commonly aligned with the multi-digit division expectations for this grade, though the exact wording varies from state to state.

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 (three-digit dividends and one-digit divisors).
#ProblemAnswerWhat to check
1603 ÷ 9 =67Watch for: forgetting a zero in the quotient
2409 ÷ 4 =102 R 1Check: giving up when the first digit does not divide
3350 ÷ 4 =87 R 2Look at: subtraction slips inside a correct method
4993 ÷ 9 =110 R 3Ask about: bringing down two digits at once
5299 ÷ 6 =49 R 5Watch for: misaligning the quotient digits
6187 ÷ 4 =46 R 3Check: not checking by multiplying back

Try one together first

Take the first problem on the sheet as it stands, 603 ÷ 9. Work 603 ÷ 9 out on paper rather than in your head the first few times, say each step aloud, and check the result against 67 on the key before moving on.

Work 993 ÷ 9 out loud as a demonstration. It gives 110 R 3. Children who hear 993 ÷ 9 reasoned through once at the start of a session make noticeably fewer errors in the ten minutes that follow.

The three errors worth watching for

How to use these worksheets at home

  1. Keep the session to about 15 minutes. A 4th grader who is still counting on fingers will need longer than that on a line like 603 ÷ 9, and that is fine: the timer is a measurement, never a punishment.
  2. Use a pencil, not a pen. Children working on long division rethink far more often when erasing is allowed, and you get to see exactly where the rethinking happened on an item like 350 ÷ 4.
  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. 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.
  5. Run the sheet at the same time each day. Ten focused minutes before dinner beats an hour on Sunday, because long division is a recall skill: 603 ÷ 9 has to arrive without being worked out, and recall is built by frequency.

Marking the sheet

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.

The answer key is generated with the worksheet, not written by hand, so it always matches the sheet in front of you — 603 ÷ 9 is listed as 67, 409 ÷ 4 as 102 R 1, and so on down the page.

How to print this worksheet

To save these 4th grade long division worksheets instead of printing them, choose 'Save as PDF' in the printer list. You get the worksheet and the answer key as a single PDF, on Letter or A4 depending on your printer settings.

Portrait orientation is what the sheet is designed for. Landscape works but wastes about a third of the paper, so leave the orientation alone unless you have a reason.

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 4th grade long division worksheets you print.
How many different sheets can I make?
As many as you want. The numbers are randomised each time, so printing five sheets in a row gives five different sets of 20 problems on the same skill.
How long should one problem take?
Two to three minutes when the method is new, well under a minute once it is fluent. That is why 15-minute sessions on long division use fewer problems than a facts sheet.
What if my child gets lost halfway through?
Have them narrate the four steps out loud. Nearly every stall happens because two steps were merged or one was skipped.
