Long Division: 3-Digit Dividends

Divide 3-digit numbers by 1-digit divisors

Math - Grade 4-5

Instructions: Solve each long division problem. Show your work in the space provided. Write remainders when needed.
  1. 1

    Solve: 624 ÷ 3

    Start with the hundreds place, then move to the tens and ones.

    624 ÷ 3 = 208. You divide each place value from left to right: 6 hundreds ÷ 3 = 2 hundreds, 2 tens ÷ 3 = 0 tens with 2 tens left, and 24 ones ÷ 3 = 8 ones.
  2. 2

    Solve: 846 ÷ 6

    846 ÷ 6 = 141. Since 6 goes into 8 one time, then into 24 four times, and into 6 one time, the quotient is 141.
  3. 3

    Solve: 735 ÷ 5

    Use multiplication to check your division answer.

    735 ÷ 5 = 147. The quotient is 147 because 147 × 5 = 735.
  4. 4

    Solve: 968 ÷ 8

    968 ÷ 8 = 121. The steps give 9 ÷ 8 = 1 with 1 left over, 16 ÷ 8 = 2, and 8 ÷ 8 = 1.
  5. 5

    Solve: 492 ÷ 4

    After dividing the hundreds, bring down the next digit before dividing again.

    492 ÷ 4 = 123. The quotient is 123 because 123 groups of 4 make 492.
  6. 6

    Solve: 357 ÷ 3

    357 ÷ 3 = 119. Since 3 goes into 3 one time, into 5 one time with 2 left over, and into 27 nine times, the quotient is 119.
  7. 7

    Solve: 589 ÷ 4

    Your remainder must be smaller than the divisor.

    589 ÷ 4 = 147 remainder 1. The quotient is 147 because 147 × 4 = 588, and 589 - 588 = 1.
  8. 8

    Solve: 764 ÷ 7

    764 ÷ 7 = 109 remainder 1. The quotient is 109 with 1 left over because 109 × 7 = 763.
  9. 9

    Solve: 915 ÷ 6

    If the divisor does not fit exactly, write the leftover amount as the remainder.

    915 ÷ 6 = 152 remainder 3. The quotient is 152 because 152 × 6 = 912, and 3 is left over.
  10. 10

    Solve: 438 ÷ 9

    438 ÷ 9 = 48 remainder 6. The quotient is 48 because 48 × 9 = 432, and 438 - 432 = 6.
  11. 11

    A teacher has 672 stickers to share equally among 8 students. How many stickers does each student get?

    Set up the problem as stickers divided by students.

    Each student gets 84 stickers. This is because 672 ÷ 8 = 84.
  12. 12

    A farmer packs 947 apples into bags with 5 apples in each bag. How many full bags can the farmer make, and how many apples are left over?

    The farmer can make 189 full bags with 2 apples left over. This is because 947 ÷ 5 = 189 remainder 2.
