long division problems – Practice Worksheet

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: Dividend: The number that is divided into the division operation is called the dividend.Divisor: It is the number by which the dividend is being divided.Quotient: The result or answer to the division problem is called the quotient.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. Fig. 1: Dividend, Divisor, Quotient and Remainder definition in Division Operation 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 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.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.Dividing 0 by a number: Zero divided by any non-zero number gives 0 as quotient.Division by zero: Division by zero is not possible. Any number, even 0 cannot be divided by 0.In the division operation, the remainder will always be smaller than the divisor.Order of division: The division always has to be in proper order. Remember that 4/2 is not equal to 2/4.Division also requires the use of the multiplication table. (Click here to know about the multiplication table)Division by 10: Any number divided by 10 gives the ones digit as a remainder and the other digits as the quotient.

Long Division Problems/Worksheets Q1) Use the multiplication table to solve the following division problems? 49÷769÷356÷8678÷9784÷4398÷5808÷20÷12555÷62345÷1192÷16630÷18 Q2) Fill in the blanks for the following division problems If we divide the smallest 3-digit number with 10 we will get the _______ 2-digit number as quotient.The remainder of the division operation of the largest 3 digit number by 3 is ________.In a division problem, the quotient of two single-digit numbers is 5 and their sum is 6. So the two numbers are _______ and _____. In a division problem, the divisor is 7, quotient 4, and the remainder is 2. So the dividend is _________.Dividend=_________ X Quotient + ________.Division means repeated _________ and it is inverse of _____________ operation.123456÷1 =_____________.0÷18=______________.Which among the following is larger: 23X1 or 23÷1; ______________.Which of the following is smaller: 0X25 or 0÷25? ____________________.325÷325=___________.________÷ 3=30.26÷ ___________=13 Q3) Write true or false for the below-mentioned division problem statements. The divisor is always greater than the remainder.A division operation can be performed in any order similar to multiplication.We can easily find the remainder by multiplying the quotient with the divisor and subtracting the result from the dividend.2÷0= 0Dividing any number with the same number gives zero as the quotient.The multiplication table is not useful in long division problems.0 ÷ 2=0 X 2Division means sharing equally.The quotient is the left-over in the division operation.When we get a remainder it is called imperfect division.15÷3=5; Here 3 is the divisor.
