In this worksheet, use long division to solve problems by dividing up to 4 digit numbers by 2-digit numbers.
When using long division, recognise remainders and write them in the appropriate place.
Example
3904 eggs are packed into boxes of 12.
How many boxes will there be and how many eggs will be left over?
Answer
We must divide 3904 ÷ 12
First divide 39 ÷ 12 = 3 rem 3 and bring down the 0.
Next divide 30 ÷ 12 = 2 rem 6 and bring down the 4.
Lastly, divide 64 ÷ 12 = 5 rem 4.
We have shown that 3904 ÷ 12 = 325 r4
There will be 325 boxes and 4 eggs will be left over.
