4th Grade Long Division Worksheets

The first thing we need to do is to write the division out in the correct long division format.

Now we repeat the 4 steps: Divide, Multiply, Subtract and Bring Down until there are no more digits left.

Stage 1

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 4 can be made from the first digit which is 1.

You can't make any groups of 4 from 1.

We write 0 in the answer line above the digit 1.

Step 2) As there are 0 groups of 4 when we divide the first digit, we can simply ignore the other steps in this stage and move on to Stage 2.

Stage 2

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 4 can be made from the first two digits which are 17.

You can make 4 groups of 4 from 17.

We write 4 in the answer line above the digit 7.

Step 2) Multiply: we multiply 4 by 4 (our answer from the previous step) to make 16.

We write 16 below the 17 and draw a line underneath.

Step 3) Subtract: we work out 17 − 16 = 1.

We write 1 under the line below the number 16.

Step 4) Bring down: we bring down the next digit which is 6 and write it next to the 1. This makes the number 16.

Stage 3

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 4 can be made from the number 16.

You can make 4 groups of 4 out of 16.

We write 4 in the answer line above the digit 6.

Step 2) Multiply: we multiply 4 by 4 (our answer from the previous step) to make 16.

We write 16 below the 16 and draw a line underneath.

Step 3) Subtract: we work out 16 − 16 = 0.

We write 0 under the line below the number 16.

Step 4) Bring down: there are no more digits to bring down so we have finished.

The first thing we need to do is to write the division out in the correct long division format.

Now we repeat the 4 steps: Divide, Multiply, Subtract and Bring Down until there are no more digits left.

Stage 1

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 3 can be made from the first digit which is 8.

You can make 2 groups of 3 from 8.

We write 2 in the answer line above the digit 8.

Step 2) Multiply: we multiply 3 by 2 (our answer from the previous step) to make 6.

We write 6 below the 8 and draw a line underneath.

Step 3) Subtract: we work out 8 − 6 = 2.

We write 2 under the line below the number 6.

Step 4) Bring down: we bring down the next digit which is 5 and write it next to the 2. This makes the number 25.

Stage 2

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 3 can be made from the number 25.

You can make 8 groups of 3 from 25.

We write 8 in the answer line above the digit 5.

Step 2) Multiply: we multiply 3 by 8 (our answer from the previous step) to make 24.

We write 24 below the 25 and draw a line underneath.

Step 3) Subtract: we work out 25 − 24 = 1.

We write 1 under the line below the number 24.

Step 4) Bring down: we bring down the next digit which is 1 and write it next to the 1. This makes the number 11.

Stage 3

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 3 can be made from the number 11.

You can make 3 groups of 3 out of 11.

We write 3 in the answer line above the digit 1.

Step 2) Multiply: we multiply 3 by 3 (our answer from the previous step) to make 9.

We write 9 below the 11 and draw a line underneath.

Step 3) Subtract: we work out 11 − 9 = 2.

We write 2 under the line below the number 9.

Step 4) Bring down: there are no more digits to bring down so we have finished.

The first thing we need to do is to write the division out in the correct long division format.

Now we repeat the 4 steps: Divide, Multiply, Subtract and Bring Down until there are no more digits left.

Stage 1

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 9 can be made from the first digit which is 2.

You can't make any groups of 9 from 2.

We write 0 in the answer line above the digit 2.

Step 2) As there are 0 groups of 9 when we divide the first digit, we can simply ignore the other steps in this stage and move on to Stage 2.

Stage 2

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 9 can be made from the first two digits which are 25.

You can make 2 groups of 9 from 25.

We write 2 in the answer line above the digit 5.

Step 2) Multiply: we multiply 9 by 2 (our answer from the previous step) to make 18.

We write 18 below the 25 and draw a line underneath.

Step 3) Subtract: we work out 25 − 18 = 7.

We write 7 under the line below the number 18.

Step 4) Bring down: we bring down the next digit which is 0 and write it next to the 7. This makes the number 70.

Stage 3

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 9 can be made from the number 70.

You can make 7 groups of 9 out of 70.

We write 7 in the answer line above the digit 0.

Step 2) Multiply: we multiply 9 by 7 (our answer from the previous step) to make 63.

We write 63 below the 70 and draw a line underneath.

Step 3) Subtract: we work out 70 − 63 = 7.

We write 7 under the line below the number 63.

Step 4) Bring down: we bring down the next digit which is 7 and write it next to the 7. This makes the number 77.

Stage 4

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 9 can be made from the number 77.

You can make 8 groups of 9 out of 77.

We write 8 in the answer line above the digit 7.

Step 2) Multiply: we multiply 9 by 8 (our answer from the previous step) to make 72.

We write 72 below the 77 and draw a line underneath.

Step 3) Subtract: we work out 77 − 72 = 5.

We write 5 under the line below the number 72.

Step 4) Bring down: there are no more numbers to bring down so we have finished.
