Division worksheet generator

How to use the division worksheet generator

Division has two very different stages, and the First number setting chooses between them. A fact range (0–5, 0–10, 0–12, 0–20) makes division facts: the range sets the answer, so a "0–12" sheet has quotients from 0 to 12 and every problem divides evenly. A digit range makes long division: 3-digit with a 1-digit divisor gives classic 4th grade problems like 672 ÷ 7, and 4-digit with a 2-digit divisor gives 5th grade problems like 2,592 ÷ 36. Divisors of 1 are left out of long division because they're trivial.

Remainders off means every problem divides exactly. Turn them on and every problem leaves a remainder between 1 and one less than the divisor, never zero and never too big. Focus fact fixes the divisor, handy for practicing ÷ 6 right after the 6 times table.

What makes a good division worksheet

• Facts first. Long division is a chain of division facts; shaky facts make every step slow. Practice facts until they're quick.
• One new idea at a time. Learn long division without remainders, then add remainders, then two-digit divisors.
• Space to work. Long division needs room under the bracket for each multiply-and-subtract step, so the generator spaces problems out.
• Mixed divisors. Divisors are dealt evenly so children don't only see ÷ 2 and ÷ 5.

Skill progression by grade

Pair each stage with division word problems, where children decide between sharing and grouping.

Printing tips

Long division sheets print three across at most, so each problem has its own column of working space. Print an extra sheet of scratch paper for 5th grade problems. The answer key prints on separate pages; print only the first pages for your child.

When worksheets aren't enough

Long division is where many children first get stuck in math. If the steps keep breaking down, the issue is often place value or a missing fact, and a program that explains the reasoning helps. Math Mammoth, Beast Academy and Teaching Textbooks all teach division in depth. Compare more in the best homeschool math curriculum or math programs for struggling students. Families in many states can use an education savings account or scholarship toward curriculum and tutoring; see homeschool funding.
