Division with remainder
On this page children practise dividing so that the dividend does not split evenly, and writing both the quotient and the remainder. Start with the short method and the examples, then use the online practice or print a worksheet with answers.
How to solve this
- When a number does not divide evenly, the remainder is what is left over: 17 ÷ 5 = 3 remainder 2.
- Find the largest multiple of the divisor that fits without exceeding the dividend, then subtract to get the remainder.
- Check: (quotient × divisor) + remainder must equal the dividend exactly.
Examples
17 ÷ 5 = ?
3 R 2
23 ÷ 4 = ?
5 R 3
