Long Division Problems and Worksheets (with PDF)

Division in mathematics is one of the basic operations that denotes distributing or splitting into equal parts or groups. The division is called the inverse operation of multiplication and it defines repeated subtraction. The division is represented by “÷” or “/” sign. There are four terms associated with the division as mentioned below:

1. Dividend: The number that is divided into the division operation is called the dividend.
2. Divisor: It is the number by which the dividend is being divided.
3. Quotient: The result or answer to the division problem is called the quotient.
4. Remainder: During the division operation if there is some “leftover” It is called Remainder.

Refer to the Fig. 1 to understand the above-mentioned terms.

In the above two examples (Fig. 1), 4 & 6 is the divisor, 11 & 325 is the dividend, 2 & 54 are the quotient and 3 & 1 are the remainders.

The main equation of Long Division operation to remember is:

Dividend=(Divisor X Quotient) + Remainder

Division Rules

1. Division by 1: Any number divided by 1 gives the number itself as the quotient. For example, 35/1=35. Here the quotient 35 is the same as the dividend as it is divided by 1.
2. Division by the number itself: Any number divided by the same number gives 1 as the quotient. For example, 7/7=1. Here quotient is 1 as the dividend and divisor are both 7.
3. Dividing 0 by a number: Zero divided by any non-zero number gives 0 as quotient.
4. Division by zero: Division by zero is not possible. Any number, even 0 cannot be divided by 0.
5. In the division operation, the remainder will always be smaller than the divisor.
6. Order of division: The division always has to be in proper order. Remember that 4/2 is not equal to 2/4.
7. Division also requires the use of the multiplication table. (Click here to know about the multiplication table)
8. Division by 10: Any number divided by 10 gives the ones digit as a remainder and the other digits as the quotient.
