Grade 4 Division Worksheets — Free Printable PDF
Free Grade 4 division worksheets — long division, division with remainders, multi-digit dividends. Common Core 4.NBT.B.6 aligned.
Long division is one of the few elementary topics that genuinely deserves its reputation for being hard. The procedure — divide, multiply, subtract, bring down, repeat — has more steps than any other Grade 4 maths skill, and forgetting any one of them breaks the whole calculation. Children who get long division also get a confidence boost that carries through Grade 5.
Our Grade 4 division sheets walk through it gently. Sheet 1 introduces the steps with single-digit divisors and three-digit dividends, with each step labelled. Later sheets remove the labels, then add remainders, then move to four-digit dividends. Grade 4 doesn't yet require two-digit divisors (that's Grade 5), but we include a few stretch problems for advanced students.
Word problems with remainders are included — these are particularly tricky because the answer might be the quotient, the quotient + 1, or just the remainder, depending on the context. Pair with Division Duel for fluency reps. Free, classroom-friendly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the long division procedure?+
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down — repeat until done. The acronym DMSB (or 'Dad Mum Sister Brother') is a common memory aid.
What does 'remainder' mean?+
The whole-number left over after a division that doesn't divide evenly. 17 ÷ 5 = 3 remainder 2.
Is two-digit divisor required in Grade 4?+
No — Common Core 4.NBT.B.6 is one-digit divisors only. Two-digit divisors come in Grade 5 (5.NBT.B.6).
Why are remainder word problems hard?+
The child has to figure out what the remainder MEANS in context. 'How many cars do we need for 17 people, 5 per car?' isn't 3 r 2 — it's 4 cars.
