Long division is the first algorithm where a student has to keep four things going at once — divide, multiply, subtract, bring down — and most mistakes are bookkeeping rather than arithmetic. A digit written half a column to the left is the difference between 47 and 407. These sheets are laid out with that in mind: fewer questions per page than a drill sheet, and real vertical space beneath each one, because long division done in a cramped margin goes wrong for reasons that have nothing to do with understanding it.

Long division questions with single-digit divisors on the earlier sheets and two-digit divisors later, printed with the division bracket already drawn and plenty of clear space below each question for the working steps. Question counts are kept low per page so nothing has to be squeezed. One worksheet per US Letter page, black and white.

Frequently asked questions

What are the steps of long division?
Divide the leading part of the dividend by the divisor and write the digit above; multiply that digit by the divisor and write the product underneath; subtract to get the remainder so far; bring down the next digit; repeat. Many teachers use a mnemonic for the order, since forgetting to bring down is the most common slip.
Why does my child keep getting the wrong number of digits in the answer?
Almost always column alignment. Each digit of the quotient has to sit directly above the digit it came from, and a quotient digit written one place off shifts everything after it. Working on squared paper, or on a sheet with generous spacing like these, prevents most of it.
Should I teach the chunking method instead?
Chunking — subtracting easy multiples of the divisor repeatedly — is more transparent and many students understand it better first, then move to the formal algorithm once the idea is secure. Which one a school expects varies, so it is worth checking before drilling one method hard.
What should come before long division?
Confident multiplication facts and short division. Long division asks you to estimate a multiple, multiply and subtract in every single step, so any weakness in the times tables shows up multiplied by the number of steps.
