How should the answer be written?

Quotient, then 'r' and the remainder, for example 7 r1. The answer key uses the same form.

4th grade division with remainders worksheets

Fourth graders divide numbers up to about 150 by single digits, every problem with a remainder, using facts they know. It is the skill 4.OA.A.3 asks for, and the piece of long division that most often goes wrong later.

Free printable PDF worksheet, aligned to Common Core 4.OA.A.3.

Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

The kind of problems you'll get

Divide. Write the quotient above the bar. Use R for the remainder.

11 = 5 × + 0 ≤ < 5
Answer: 2
20 = 11 × + 0 ≤ < 11
Answer: 1
4 = 12 × + 0 ≤ < 12
Answer: 0

Every print pulls a fresh set of problems at this level, so a make-up test or a second sibling never gets the same sheet.

What's on a 4th grade sheet

Division with remainders. Divide. Write the quotient above the bar. Use R for the remainder. 16 problems per page.

Every version prints on US Letter or A4, with its answer key after the problems.

How to teach this

This is fact recall plus one subtraction, so keep it quick. The two errors to watch: choosing a fact that is too small, and a remainder that equals the divisor (which means one more group fits). The multiply-and-add-back check, 5 × 4 + 3 = 23, settles any doubt.

Watch for: Kids pick a fact that is too small (5 × 3 = 15 for 23 ÷ 5) and get a remainder of 8. If the remainder is bigger than the divisor, go up one fact. Kids write 4.3 or 4 3/5 instead of 4 r3 because they have seen decimals. At this level the answer is a whole number and a remainder.
