6th grade long division with two-digit divisors worksheets
Sixth grade is where multi-digit division becomes fluent. These sheets keep two-digit divisors between 11 and 25 so your child can practice the full estimate-multiply-subtract cycle. It's the same division they'll lean on for ratios, rates, and decimal work all year.

The kind of problems you'll get
Divide. Show your work. Write remainders with an r.
-
1728 ÷ 16 =
Answer: 108
- 2690 ÷ 14 =
- 2794 ÷ 22 =
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.

Every version prints on US Letter or A4, with its answer key on the last page.
How to teach this
Time nothing at first. Accuracy with two-digit divisors comes before speed. Have your child write the estimate next to each bracket before dividing, then verify one finished problem by multiplying back. If errors cluster in the subtraction step, that's the thing to drill, not the division.
Watch for: Kids guess the quotient digit too high and hit a subtraction that won't work. Estimate with a rounded divisor first, then adjust down by one and retry. Kids divide by one digit of the divisor at a time. The divisor is one whole number, so 16 goes into 41 twice, not '1 into 4' and '6 into 1'.
Common questions about long division with two-digit divisors
- Isn't long division a 5th grade skill? Why practice it in 6th?
- Fifth grade introduces it; the sixth grade standard asks for fluency. A page of six problems, a few times a week, is how the method stops needing effort.
- How should answers with leftovers be written?
- With an r, like 26 r2. If your child's class has moved to decimal quotients, you can still use these sheets and convert the remainder together as an extension.
