Division with Remainders Worksheets

Print division with remainders worksheets, from facts to 12 up to 3-digit ÷ 2-digit, with room to work, a check line, and an answer key. Free PDF.

Make free division with remainders worksheets: every problem leaves a remainder (or only some do), long division gets working room sized to the dividend, and an optional check line asks students to prove each answer (quotient × divisor + remainder = dividend). Sizes run from facts to 12 up to 3-digit ÷ 2-digit, with an answer key written like 14 R 4.

Answer key

Step by step

How to use the division with remainders worksheets

  • 1Pick a problem size, from facts to 12 up to 3-digit ÷ 2-digit.
  • 2Choose whether every problem has a remainder or only some, and long division or equation layout.
  • 3Keep the check line on so students prove each answer, then print or download the PDF with its answer key.
  • 4For two groups, choose 2 levels: one PDF with an easier size and your chosen size, each with its key.
When it helps

When this is useful

Introducing remainders

Start with facts to 12 (59 ÷ 8 = 7 R 3) so students see what's left over before long division.

Long division practice

Each house has room under it for the divide, multiply, subtract, bring down steps.

Self-checking

The check line (7 × 8 + 3 = 59) lets students catch their own mistakes before you grade.

Two groups, one PDF

Print an easier size and the on-level size together, labeled Level 1 and Level 2.

Mixed review

Choose some remainders so students have to decide whether a problem divides evenly.

In practice

Examples to try

2-digit ÷ 1-digit

74 ÷ 5 = 14 R 4, check: 14 × 5 + 4 = 74.

3-digit ÷ 1-digit

458 ÷ 7 = 65 R 3, with five working lines under each house.

3-digit ÷ 2-digit

517 ÷ 23 = 22 R 11, for students ready for 2-digit divisors.

Tips for better results

  • The remainder is always smaller than the divisor

    If a student's remainder is equal to or larger than the divisor, the quotient can go up by one.

  • Use the check line every time

    Multiplying back (quotient × divisor + remainder) is the quickest way to confirm an answer.

  • Estimate the quotient first

    458 ÷ 7 is a bit more than 420 ÷ 7 = 60, so an answer in the 60s makes sense.

  • Talk about what the remainder means

    In a story problem, a remainder may mean one more bus, leftover cookies, or a part of a whole.

Under the hood

How the division with remainders worksheets works

Each problem is built backward from a quotient and a remainder, so the answer is right by construction: dividend = quotient × divisor + remainder, and the remainder is always at least 1 and less than the divisor (unless you choose some remainders, where a few problems divide evenly). Dividends stay inside the chosen size, and divisors are never 0 or 1 when a remainder is needed.

Long division gets working room under each house that grows with the dividend: 3 lines for 2-digit dividends, 5 for 3-digit, 7 for 4-digit. The check line asks for the multiplication that proves the answer, and the answer key fills it in next to the quotient and remainder, written like 65 R 3.

Frequently asked questions

What grade learns division with remainders?

In the Common Core math standards used in many US states, finding quotients and remainders with up to 4-digit dividends and 1-digit divisors is a 4th grade skill (4.NBT.B.6), and 2-digit divisors come in 5th grade (5.NBT.B.6). Many classes meet remainders with basic facts in 3rd grade. Follow your own standards.

How do you check a division answer with a remainder?

Multiply the quotient by the divisor, then add the remainder. You should get the dividend. For 59 ÷ 8 = 7 R 3: 7 × 8 = 56, and 56 + 3 = 59.

Can every problem have a remainder?

Yes, that's the default. Choose “Some problems” to mix in problems that divide evenly.

How are answers written in the key?

As the quotient, R, and the remainder, like 14 R 4. With the check line on, the key also shows the check, like 14 × 5 + 4 = 74.

Can I print two levels at once?

Yes. Choose 2 levels under Versions: the PDF has Level 1 (one size easier) and Level 2 (the size you picked), each labeled and followed by its answer key.

How is this different from the Division Worksheet Generator?

The Division Worksheet Generator covers all division practice, remainders or not, in a compact layout. This page is built for remainders: working room sized to the dividend, the check line, and two levels.

Is it free?

Yes, with no account. Everything is made in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
