Grade 5 Divide worksheet
from Gradelings · Name: ______________________
How to explain it
- Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down the next digit, and repeat.
- What is left over at the end is the remainder.
- Check by multiplying back and adding the remainder.
Example: 47 ÷ 4 = ? 4 × 11 = 44. 47 − 44 = 3 left over. So 47 ÷ 4 = 11 remainder 3. Answer: 11 remainder 3
Question 1
808 players sign up for a tournament. Each team needs exactly 6 players. How many full teams can be made?
answer box
134
Hint: Divide. The remainder is not enough to make one more, so leave it out and use only the quotient.
Question 2
A farm has 423 eggs to pack in cartons that hold 6 eggs each. How many cartons are needed for all the eggs?
answer box
71
Hint: Divide. If there is a remainder, the leftover ones still need a place, so you need one more than the quotient.
Question 3
How can you check that 350 ÷ 5 = 70?
- Divide 70 ÷ 5
- Add 70 + 5
- Multiply 350 × 5
- Multiply 70 × 5
Multiply 70 × 5
Hint: Multiplication and division undo each other. If the quotient times the divisor gives the dividend, the division is right.
Question 4
What is 315 ÷ 4?
315 ÷ 4
- 79 R 3
- 78 R 3
- 78 R 4
- 78
78 R 3
Hint: Find the greatest multiple of 4 that is not more than 315. What is left over is the remainder, and it must be less than 4.
Question 5
What is the remainder when 833 is divided by 5?
answer box
3
Hint: Find the greatest multiple of 5 that fits into 833. Subtract it from 833; what is left is the remainder.
Question 6
Which is the best estimate for 904 ÷ 9?
- 100
- 1000
- 200
- 10
100
Hint: Change 904 to a nearby number that divides easily by 9, like 900. Then divide the friendly number.
Question 7
Divide.
318 ÷ 6 = ?
answer box
53
Hint: Think: 6 × ? = 318. Split 318 into parts that divide easily by 6, like 300 and 18.
Question 8
A class collects 696 cans and packs them equally into 8 boxes. How many cans go in each box?
answer box
87
Hint: Sharing equally means divide by 8. Split 696 into parts that are easy to share, then add the shares.
Question 9
What is the remainder when 77 is divided by 6?
answer box
5
Hint: Find the greatest multiple of 6 that fits into 77. Subtract it from 77; what is left is the remainder.
Question 10
97 students are going on a field trip. Each van holds 9 students. How many vans are needed?
answer box
11
Hint: Divide. If there is a remainder, the leftover ones still need a place, so you need one more than the quotient.
