Not sure where to start? These are the lessons and games we recommend most to students, parents and teachers on Basic-mathematics.com. Each lesson explains the topic in plain language, walks you through worked examples step by step, and ends with practice so you can check your understanding. Pick one below, or use the menu to find lessons on fractions, algebra, geometry, statistics and more.
Choose the size of the numbers:
Start with 1-digit divisors and short dividends, then move on to longer problems as your students gain confidence. Combinations that don’t make sense are switched off automatically, so every worksheet is real long division practice.
You decide whether problems have no remainders, all have remainders, or a mix of both. Problems without remainders are a great way to learn the steps before remainders are introduced. For problems with remainders, students can write the remainder with R (like 119 R 7) or as a fraction in simplest form (like 119 7/9). You can also pick how many problems to include, from 6 to 18, and give the worksheet your own title.
Each problem uses the standard long division bracket and leaves plenty of space underneath for students to show their work. The answer key shows the full long division written out: the quotient on top, then every subtraction and every brought-down digit, just as a student would write it by hand. That makes it easy to see exactly where a student went wrong. If you only want the final answers, just switch the work off. The answer key prints on a separate page, so you can hand out the worksheet and keep the answers for yourself. You can also print the answer key on its own, or save both pages as a PDF.
Every worksheet has a code printed at the bottom. Enter the same code with the same settings and you’ll get exactly the same worksheet again. That means you never have to save or store a worksheet. Write down the code, and you can print another copy for a student who was absent, or find the answer key when it’s time to grade. You can also click “Share worksheet” to send a link, so another teacher or a parent gets exactly the same problems. Click “New worksheet” any time you want a different set of problems.
Use these worksheets for classwork, homework, quick quizzes, warm-ups, or extra practice for students who need it. Since each worksheet is new, students can practice long division as many times as they need.
