Dividing Multi-Digit Whole Numbers: math practice, Grade 4 – download the PDF

1 Sharing stickers ★★★

Zoe has 36 stickers. She shares them equally among 4 friends. How many stickers does each friend get?

2 Fact family ★★★

Use \(7 \times 9 = 63\) to write three more facts about the same numbers.

3 Tens and hundreds ★★★

Use a basic fact to find each quotient.

1. \(180 \div 3\)
2. \(560 \div 7\)
3. \(2{,}400 \div 8\)
4. \(3{,}500 \div 5\)
5. \(4{,}800 \div 6\)

4 Fill the area model ★★★

The area of this rectangle is 168 square inches and its width is 4 inches. The two parts have areas 160 and 8. Find the two missing lengths and the length of the whole rectangle.

5 Two partial quotients ★★★

Find \(96 \div 3\). Start by taking away \(3 \times 30\), then finish the job.

6 First long divisions ★★★

Use long division.

1. \(468 \div 2\)
2. \(639 \div 3\)
3. \(905 \div 5\)

7 True or false? ★★★

Say whether each statement is true or false. Explain.

1. \(3{,}000 \div 5 = 600\)
2. \(450 \div 9 = 5\)
3. Since \(7 \times 6 = 42\), then \(42 \div 6 = 7\).
4. \(25 \div 4 = 6 \text{ R } 1\)
5. \(31 \div 5 = 5 \text{ R } 6\)

8 Estimate, then divide ★★★

A farm stand has 623 apples to put in 7 equal baskets.

1. Estimate the number of apples per basket with compatible numbers.
2. Find the exact number.

9 Quotients with remainders ★★★

Divide and write the answer with a remainder.

1. \(47 \div 6\)
2. \(92 \div 8\)
3. \(245 \div 9\)
4. \(1{,}000 \div 7\)

10 Spot the mistake ★★★

Leo says that \(538 \div 6 = 88 \text{ R } 10\). He checked: \(6 \times 88 + 10 = 538\). Is his answer correct? Explain, then give the right answer.

11 Vans for the field trip ★★★

83 students go to a science museum. Each van carries 9 students. How many vans are needed?

12 Ribbon pieces ★★★

A roll of ribbon is 275 inches long. Mia cuts pieces that are 8 inches long. How many full pieces can she cut, and how much ribbon is left over?

13 Three-part area model ★★★

The area of this rectangle is 861 square feet and its width is 7 feet. The parts have areas 700, 140 and 21. Find the length of each part and the length of the rectangle.

14 Jumps on a number line ★★★

Mateo is solving \(47 \div 5\) with jumps of 5 on a number line starting at 0.

How many full jumps of 5 does he make before he cannot jump again without passing 47? What is the remainder? Write the division sentence.

15 A zero in the quotient ★★★

Use long division. Be careful with the zeros.

1. \(3{,}224 \div 8\)
2. \(2{,}105 \div 7\)

16 Apples, crates and trucks ★★★

An orchard picks 1,248 apples. Each crate holds 8 apples. The crates are then loaded equally onto 4 trucks. How many crates does each truck carry?

17 Which quotient is larger? ★★★

Without using long division, decide which quotient is larger: \(2{,}700 \div 9\) or \(3{,}500 \div 7\). By how much?

18 Find the dividend ★★★

Find the missing number in each case.

1. \(\square \div 6 = 47 \text{ R } 5\)
2. \(\square \div 7 = 52 \text{ R } 6\)

19 Error analysis ★★★

Nina divides \(1{,}236 \div 4\) and writes 39. Use an estimate to show that her answer cannot be right, then find the correct quotient.

20 Bags of beads ★★★

A craft store has 1,000 beads. They are sold in bags of 6 beads.

1. How many full bags can the store make, and how many beads are left over?
2. How many bags would it need to hold every bead?

21 Two ways to solve ★★★

Write a short word problem for \(245 \div 5\). Then solve it with partial quotients and with an area model.
