Long Division Practice

Divide multi-digit numbers step by step: 1-digit divisors, 2-digit divisors, and the sneaky zero in the quotient.

How to enter answers

  • Whole-number answers: type 39.
  • With a remainder: type 30 R 5.
  • For “first digit” questions, type just that one digit.

Problem types

First quotient digit

Where does the answer start?

Example: 847 ÷ 7 starts with 1

2-digit by 1-digit

The full chant on smaller numbers.

Example: 96 ÷ 3 = 32

3-digit by 1-digit

Longer dividends, same moves.

Example: 847 ÷ 7 = 121

Zero in the quotient

The divisor does not fit — write 0.

Example: 612 ÷ 3 = 204

2-digit divisors

Estimate carefully, then chant.

Example: 365 ÷ 12 = 30 R 5

Word problems

Full boxes and leftovers.

Example: 250 items, 12 per box → 20 R 10

Common slip-ups

Quotient digit too big

If digit × divisor overshoots the working number, go one smaller. Estimate first.

The missing zero

612 ÷ 3 = 204, not 24. A 0 is a digit — write it.

Stopping early

Keep chanting until every digit is brought down. The last subtraction gives the remainder.
