If you need 5th grade long division 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. You will see items like 509 ÷ 17 and 827 ÷ 18 on the printed page, with 29 R 16 and 45 R 17 waiting on the answer key so nobody has to redo the arithmetic.
‘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.
Each generated sheet mixes divisions that come out exactly with divisions that leave a remainder, so the child cannot assume either outcome.
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 978 ÷ 15.
This sheet uses two-digit divisors, so the procedure is exercised without the sheet becoming a copying marathon — 978 ÷ 15 is a fair example of it.
Long division is the longest procedure in elementary arithmetic and the one where a single slip is fatal. Working 509 ÷ 17 correctly to 29 R 16 means running divide, multiply, subtract and bring-down in order, several times, without losing place.
Work of this kind is commonly aligned with the multi-digit division expectations for this grade; schools outside the US meet the same skill at roughly the same age, which is why these 5th grade long division worksheets travel well.
| # | Problem | Answer | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 509 ÷ 17 = | 29 R 16 | Watch for: forgetting a zero in the quotient |
| 2 | 827 ÷ 18 = | 45 R 17 | Check: giving up when the first digit does not divide |
| 3 | 3,021 ÷ 36 = | 83 R 33 | Look at: bringing down two digits at once |
| 4 | 907 ÷ 22 = | 41 R 5 | Ask about: misaligning the quotient digits |
| 5 | 978 ÷ 15 = | 65 R 3 | Watch for: subtraction slips inside a correct method |
| 6 | 2,550 ÷ 36 = | 70 R 30 | Check: not checking by multiplying back |
Take the first problem on the sheet as it stands, 509 ÷ 17. Work 509 ÷ 17 out on paper rather than in your head the first few times, say each step aloud, and check the result against 29 R 16 on the key before moving on.
Work 907 ÷ 22 out loud as a demonstration. It gives 41 R 5. Children who hear 907 ÷ 22 reasoned through once at the start of a session make noticeably fewer errors in the ten minutes that follow.
Answers appear next to their question numbers, so a wrong item like 827 ÷ 18 can be found in the key in a second and re-worked while it is still fresh.
Keys are produced by the same code that produces the questions, so a mismatch between question and answer is not possible on these sheets.
To save these 5th 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.
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 509 ÷ 17 from a neighbour.
