Long Division Problems

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.
