Long division

Long division problems with the bracket drawn: a divisor of 1 or 2 digits into a dividend of 2 to 4 digits, even divisions, remainders or a mix, three to a row with room to work under each. Tick "graph paper" to help children keep the columns straight. The key gives the quotient, the remainder and the check.

How to use it

  1. Choose the size of the divisor and the dividend, whether there are remainders, and how many problems. They appear on the right at once; "New random sheet" gives another set from the same choices.
  2. For children who are just starting long division, tick "graph paper": faint cells under each problem help them write the quotient and the products in the right columns.
  3. Press "Print / Save as PDF". The answer key on the last page gives the quotient, the remainder and the check, quotient × divisor + remainder = dividend (untick it to leave it out).

Questions and answers

Which division bracket is used?

The one used in Thailand and the United States: the divisor on the left, a curve, then a bar over the dividend, with the quotient above the bar. Each digit sits in its own cell, with room under each problem to work.

How do I choose remainders?

Pick none, every problem, or a mix. Even divisions are made from products, so they always come out even; a problem with a remainder always has one smaller than the divisor. The divisor is never 0 or 1.

What does graph paper do?

Ticked, faint cells are drawn under every problem so children write the quotient, the products and the differences in the right columns. Good when long division is new; it prints as light grey lines.
