Long Division is a free printable Grade 5 mathematics worksheet that gives students 20 fill-in-the-blank problems with dividends ranging from three- to four-digit numbers and two-digit divisors. Students solve division problems such as 816 ÷ 24, 2,736 ÷ 12, and 8,207 ÷ 29, recording exact quotients when the division is even and quotients with remainders when it is not. The worksheet provides focused practice with interpreting and writing long-division answers, including remainder notation such as 26 R 32, 338 R 3, and 357 R 20. It is suitable for independent practice, classwork, homework, or a quick skills check after students have learned the long-division algorithm. The free printable worksheet includes a complete answer key, helping teachers review computation accuracy and identify students who need additional support with quotient estimation, subtraction, or remainder calculation.

WorksheetsAnswer KeyThis Grade 5 worksheet covers solving 20 multi-digit division problems with two-digit divisors in a fill-in-the-blank format. Students calculate exact quotients, such as 2,736 ÷ 12 = 228, and quotients with remainders, such as 7,439 ÷ 22 = 338 R 3. Completing the items builds accuracy with the long-division process and remainder notation.
Model one exact-quotient problem, such as 816 ÷ 24, by having students estimate the quotient, divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down as needed. Then work through a remainder problem such as 1,280 ÷ 48 and discuss why the final remainder must be smaller than the divisor. Use the remaining fill-in-the-blank items for guided practice before assigning them independently.
Watch for students misestimating the quotient when dividing by two-digit numbers, skipping a place-value step, or making an error when multiplying the divisor by a quotient digit. In remainder problems, students may omit the remainder, write it with unclear notation, or record a remainder that is equal to or greater than the divisor. Check that answers such as 35 R 59 and 85 R 68 are recorded as quotient-and-remainder pairs, not as decimal answers.
On Wayground, assign it either as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz, depending on whether students need written long-division practice or online completion. The worksheet includes a complete answer key for checking all 20 fill-in-the-blank responses, including exact quotients and remainders. For printable submissions, you can scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to grade it efficiently.
Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or increase the font size so the long-division expressions and fill-in areas are easier to read and complete. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when those options support your learners. These changes preserve the worksheet’s focus on dividing multi-digit numbers by two-digit divisors and recording remainders.
