Division Facts Worksheets

Using this page

Division facts linked to the times tables, such as 56 ÷ 7 and 36 ÷ 4. Grade 3 in the Common Core asks for fluent division within 100, using the link between multiplication and division. Choose the same table groups as the multiplication sheet so children can practise both sides of each fact. Suits around Year 3 and Year 4 in Australia and Grade 3 in the US (Common Core 3.OA.C.7), but use whatever level fits the child.

Tips

• Practise multiplication and division facts side by side, because each fact gives three others.
• Estimate before working out: 47 × 6 is about 50 × 6 = 300.
• Check division by multiplying back: the answer times the divisor, plus any remainder, gives the starting number.
• Squared or graph paper keeps long calculations in neat columns.

Worked example

56 ÷ 7. Ask: seven times what is 56? 7 × 8 = 56, so 56 ÷ 7 = 8. Every multiplication fact gives two division facts: 7 × 8 = 56 means 56 ÷ 7 = 8 and 56 ÷ 8 = 7.

Common mistakes

Dividing the wrong way round, such as 7 ÷ 56. The first number is the total being shared.

Answering with the multiplication, such as 56 ÷ 7 = 392. Read the sign.

How to use this generator

Choose the options above the sheet: the number of questions and the settings for this kind of worksheet. Every change makes a new sheet straight away, and New worksheet gives a different set of questions with the same settings.

Each sheet has a worksheet number printed at the top. Type the same number later, or keep the page link, to print exactly the same questions and answer key again. Leave Answer key page ticked to print the answers on a second page, then press Print. Every printed page carries the makekite logo and web address.

Common questions

Should division facts wait until tables are known?
Practise them together. Division is the inverse of multiplication, so each fact learnt helps both.

How much working space is there?
The column and bus stop layouts leave space under each question for working. For long multiplication and long division, choose fewer questions for more space.

Can I print the same worksheet again?
Yes. Note the worksheet number printed at the top, or keep the link in your browser's address bar, which ends with that number. Entering it later gives the same questions and answers.

Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, and nothing you choose is sent anywhere: the sheets are made in your browser.
