Long division by a 1-digit number — Maths worksheet

The method

Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down — “work from the left digit by digit, carrying the remainder to the next digit”

1. Start with the first digit (or first two digits if the first is too small).
2. Divide, multiply, subtract, then bring down the next digit.
3. Repeat until every digit is used; what is left is the remainder.
4. Check: divisor × quotient + remainder = the number.
