Long Division with Remainders Worksheet

Long division with remainders is the step where fourth graders put place value, multiplication facts, and subtraction together into one steady routine. This long division with remainders worksheet gives students a clear, repeatable way to divide a three-digit number by a one-digit divisor and to record what is left over as a remainder. Instead of guessing, students work one place-value column at a time — divide, multiply, subtract, bring down — and finish by writing the quotient and the remainder (R) exactly the way their classwork and state assessments will ask for it.

This 4th grade division worksheet is built for independent practice. Part A gives six long division problems with a generous work space under each one, so students can show every step without crowding their digits. Part B moves the same skill into the real world with two word problems: one asks how many bags of corn a farm stand can fill and how many ears are left over, and the other asks students to judge whether another student’s answer is correct and explain how they know. Print it for morning work, a math center, homework, or a quick check before a unit test.

What’s Included

• 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
• Answer key
• 6 long division problems with three-digit dividends and one-digit divisors
• 2 remainder word problems, including a justify-your-thinking question

This long division with remainders worksheet helps kids in three ways. First, the fixed layout trains the divide-multiply-subtract-bring-down routine until it becomes automatic, which is what frees up thinking space for harder problems later. Second, every problem ends in a remainder, so students stop expecting a tidy answer and learn to report exactly what is left over. Third, the word problems ask students to interpret that remainder in context — five leftover ears of corn is a real answer, not a mistake — and to defend a solution in writing.

Teachers and parents can extend the practice easily. Roll two dice to build a dividend and a divisor, then race to solve it. Use counters or snap cubes to share a pile into equal groups and say the leftovers out loud. Ask students to invent a story for a problem like 93 ÷ 5 so the remainder has to mean something real. Skip-counting practice by fours, sixes, and eights also speeds up the estimation step inside every long division problem.
