About this worksheet

Long division is the formal written method Year 4 students use to divide larger numbers, and it’s a key building block for the more complex division work that follows in later years. This worksheet focuses on division problems that divide exactly, with no remainder, so students can master the method itself before dealing with the extra complexity of remainders.

The worksheet follows EduLift’s standard four-part structure. It opens with 16 fluency questions dividing 2- and 3-digit numbers by a single digit, each dividing exactly. Six core questions apply long division to real-world word problems — seating, packing and manufacturing scenarios, several requiring a second step after the division. Four reasoning questions ask students to explain the steps of the algorithm, check an answer without dividing again, and evaluate general claims about division. Three challenge questions ask students to find a number meeting given conditions or compare two different ways of grouping the same total.

Every question has been hand-checked for accuracy, and a full worked answer key is provided as a separate download, with marking guidance for the word problems and reasoning questions so parents and tutors can mark consistently.

This worksheet is aligned to the WA Curriculum code WA4MNADI1 and is free to download for personal and classroom use.

Common errors we see in tutoring

• Starting the algorithm from the wrong digit instead of the left-most place value
• Forgetting to bring down the next digit before continuing the division
• Multiplication errors in the "multiply back and subtract" step
