From 3-digit by 2-digit to 4-digit by 2-digit

In Sheet type, start with Divide by multiples of 10 and Divide by 11 and 12, where the multiples are easy. The 3 digit by 2 digit division worksheets come next, first with no remainder, then with one. The 4 digit by 2 digit division worksheets add a third round of bringing down. Two traps get a sheet each: Zero inside the quotient, as in 2,756 ÷ 26 = 106, and Quotient ending in zero.

When the remainder changes the answer

What to do with the remainder sets word problems. One puts 250 pupils in buses that seat 48: 250 ÷ 48 = 5 R 10, so 6 buses are needed. Each problem asks for a round-up, a round-down or the amount left over.

  • Ask for one check per sheet: 25 × 23 + 14 = 589 proves 25 R 14.
  • A remainder as big as the divisor means a quotient digit was too small. Compare the two after every subtraction.
  • Pupils whose columns drift can use On grid paper, which gives every digit its own square.

Questions and answers

Do these two digit division worksheets have remainders?

Only when you choose them. Sheets named no remainder always divide exactly, and sheets named with remainders always leave one, written as 5,947 ÷ 26 = 228 R 19. Remainders as fractions or decimals are not on this page yet.

Which grade are 3-digit by 2-digit division worksheets for?

Grade 5 under Common Core (5.NBT.6) and Texas (5.3(C)): up to a 4-digit dividend and a 2-digit divisor. England sets the same size in Year 6. Common Core first names the standard algorithm for division in grade 6 (6.NS.2), where 5-digit ÷ 2-digit fits.

How do pupils find each quotient digit with a 2-digit divisor?

Round the divisor and try. For 864 ÷ 24, think 86 ÷ 25, about 3. Then 3 × 24 = 72, 86 − 72 = 14, bring down the 4, and 144 ÷ 24 = 6, so the answer is 36.

What is on the key of these 2 digit division worksheets with answers?

Every quotient, plus the numbers a pupil should have written under the bracket. For 744 ÷ 31 = 24 the key lists 62, 124, 124 and 0. Word problem keys give the answer and the division behind it. To leave the key off, clear Answer key.

Warm-ups and friendly divisors 5

  • 2-digit ÷ 2-digit 96 ÷ 16 = 6 and 89 ÷ 21 = 4 R 5. Nothing is brought down, so the whole job is one estimate: how many 16s fit in 96? It is the core step of every longer problem, practiced alone.
  • Divide by 11 and 12 408 ÷ 12 = 34. The divisor has 2 digits, but its multiples are still in the times tables to 12, so pupils meet the long division steps before they have to estimate anything.
  • Divide by 25 and 50 1,375 ÷ 25 = 55. Four 25s make 100, so pupils can count 25s the way they count quarters in a dollar: 1,300 holds 52 of them and 75 holds 3 more.
  • Divide by multiples of 10 Divisors are 10, 20, 30 and so on up to 90: 1,560 ÷ 30 = 52. Dividing by 30 is dividing by 3 with both numbers ten times bigger, so 156 ÷ 3 = 52 gives the same digits. No remainders on this sheet.
  • Division fact warm-up to 144 ÷ 12 40 division facts written across the page, such as 96 ÷ 12 = 8. It is the one sheet here built from single facts. Use it as a 5-minute starter, because every quotient digit on the longer sheets comes from a fact like these.

3-digit by 2-digit 4

  • 3-digit ÷ 2-digit with remainders 589 ÷ 23 = 25 R 14. Every problem leaves a remainder, written after an R. The remainder must be smaller than the divisor. If it is not, a quotient digit was too small.
  • 3-digit ÷ 2-digit, 1-digit quotient 252 ÷ 36 = 7. The divisor does not fit into the first 2 digits (25 is less than 36), so the only quotient digit goes above the ones place. Writing it above the tens place is the slip to watch for.
  • 3-digit ÷ 2-digit, no remainder 864 ÷ 24 = 36. Two rounds of divide, multiply, subtract and bring down: 86 − 72 = 14, then 144 ÷ 24 = 6. The page opens on this sheet, with 12 problems and an answer key.
  • 3-digit ÷ teen divisors Divisors from 13 to 19: 612 ÷ 17 = 36. Teens are hard to estimate with, because rounding moves them so far. Rounding 15 to 20 turns 105 ÷ 15 = 7 into a first guess of 5.

4-digit by 2-digit and up 6

  • 4-digit ÷ 2-digit with remainders 5,947 ÷ 26 = 228 R 19. England's Year 6 curriculum sets this size and asks pupils to give the remainder as a whole number, a fraction or a rounded answer, whichever fits the question.
  • 4-digit ÷ 2-digit, 2-digit quotient 1,288 ÷ 56 = 23. The first 2 digits (12) are smaller than the divisor, so the first quotient digit goes above the tens place and the answer has 2 digits, not 3.
  • 4-digit ÷ 2-digit, no remainder 3,552 ÷ 24 = 148. Three rounds: 35 − 24 = 11, then 115 − 96 = 19, then 192 ÷ 24 = 8. Four digits by two digits is the largest size in Common Core grade 5 (5.NBT.6) and in Texas 5.3(C).
  • 5-digit ÷ 2-digit 38,016 ÷ 72 = 528. Past the grade 5 limit of 4 digits, for sixth graders: Common Core 6.NS.2 asks them to divide multi-digit numbers fluently with the standard algorithm and names no largest size.
  • Quotient ending in zero 4,837 ÷ 23 = 210 R 7. The last digit to come down leaves 7, which is smaller than 23, so the quotient needs a final 0. A pupil who stops at 21 has an answer ten times too small.
  • Zero inside the quotient 2,756 ÷ 26 = 106. After the 5 comes down, 15 is smaller than 26, so a 0 goes in the quotient before the 6 comes down. Leave out the 0 and the answer shrinks to 16.

Remainders, fractions and decimals 3

  • Decimal ÷ 2-digit whole number 46.8 ÷ 12 = 3.9. The decimal point in the quotient sits straight above the point in the dividend, and the digits work exactly as in 468 ÷ 12 = 39. Texas places this in grade 5, standard 5.3(G).
  • Remainder as a decimal 432 ÷ 15 = 28.8. Pupils write a decimal point and a 0 after the dividend and keep dividing. Every problem on this sheet ends within 2 decimal places, as in 1,467 ÷ 12 = 122.25.
  • What to do with the remainder 250 pupils and buses that seat 48: 250 ÷ 48 = 5 R 10, so 6 buses are needed. Each word problem asks for a round-up, a round-down or the amount left over, and the key gives the answer with the division behind it.

Estimates, checks and other methods 2

  • Area model, 2-digit divisor 1,512 ÷ 42 = 36 drawn as a rectangle with 42 on one side. The first box holds 42 × 30 = 1,260, the second holds the 252 that is left, 42 × 6 = 252, and the top reads 30 + 6 = 36.
  • On grid paper 7,104 ÷ 32 = 222, set out on squared paper with one digit per square. The squares keep every subtraction under the right columns, a help for pupils whose digits drift sideways as the working grows.

How this list was compiled: The sheet types, word problems and worked sums were written for this page. Number sizes and standard numbers were checked on 2026-09-18 against the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (https://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/documents/ccssmathstandardaug2013.pdf), the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Mathematics (https://tea.texas.gov/sites/default/files/ch111a.pdf) and the national curriculum in England (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7da548ed915d2ac884cb07/PRIMARY_national_curriculum_-_Mathematics_220714.pdf). The long division steps and the check, quotient × divisor + remainder = dividend, were checked the same day against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division. Licence: own work
