Free 6th Grade Long Division Worksheets (2-digit divisors)

If you need 6th 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. A typical problem from the sheet in front of you is 662 ÷ 15, which works out to 44 R 2; another is 2,343 ÷ 39, giving 60 R 3.

📄 6TH 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.

What you are practising here

Each generated sheet mixes divisions that come out exactly with divisions that leave a remainder, so the child cannot assume either outcome.

Estimation is not optional here. Before starting 2,343 ÷ 39, a rough answer tells the child how many digits 60 R 3 should have, which catches the most damaging class of error immediately.

Long division is the longest procedure in elementary arithmetic and the one where a single slip is fatal. Working 662 ÷ 15 correctly to 44 R 2 means running divide, multiply, subtract and bring-down in order, several times, without losing place.

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 435 ÷ 12.

In US classrooms these 6th 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.

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 (two-digit divisors).
#ProblemAnswerWhat to check
1662 ÷ 15 =44 R 2Watch for: forgetting a zero in the quotient
22,343 ÷ 39 =60 R 3Check: subtraction slips inside a correct method
31,358 ÷ 17 =79 R 15Look at: giving up when the first digit does not divide
41,006 ÷ 18 =55 R 16Ask about: not checking by multiplying back
5435 ÷ 12 =36 R 3Watch for: bringing down two digits at once
61,117 ÷ 14 =79 R 11Check: misaligning the quotient digits

One problem worked through

A good first problem to do together is 662 ÷ 15, which comes out at 44 R 2. Do 662 ÷ 15 once with the child narrating, then hand over the pencil and start the clock on the other 20 problems.

Try 1,358 ÷ 17 together before letting the child start alone. The answer to 1,358 ÷ 17 is 79 R 15, and talking through how it was reached takes about a minute and saves several minutes of guessing later in the sheet.

Three common mistakes and what to do about them

Getting the most out of 15 minutes a day

  1. Mark it together straight away while the working is still fresh, so a slip like the one behind 1,358 ÷ 17 can be talked through instead of guessed at.
  2. Re-print the same skill rather than the same sheet. Because the numbers change, a child who memorised that 662 ÷ 15 gives 44 R 2 still has to actually calculate tomorrow.
  3. Keep the session to about 15 minutes. A 6th grader who is still counting on fingers will need longer than that on a line like 662 ÷ 15, and that is fine: the timer is a measurement, never a punishment.
  4. 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 long division than any single test result.
  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: 662 ÷ 15 has to arrive without being worked out, and recall is built by frequency.

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 — 662 ÷ 15 is listed as 44 R 2, 2,343 ÷ 39 as 60 R 3, and so on down the page.

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.

Printing on US Letter or A4

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.

If the problems look cramped, drop the count from 20 to a smaller number before printing these 6th grade long division worksheets; the font stays the same size and the spacing opens up.

Frequently asked questions

Will these print correctly on A4?
Yes. These 6th grade long division 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 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.
Is the answer key included?
Yes, on its own page behind the worksheet. For the sheet loaded right now it shows 44 R 2 for 662 ÷ 15 and 60 R 3 for 2,343 ÷ 39.
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.
