Division Practice Questions

Solve each challenge. Show your thinking, and use multiplication to check your division answers. For remainders, write the quotient and remainder.

Warm-up: Number clues

Use the number lines to help you think about equal groups and multiplication facts.

1.The number line shows 0 to 30 in jumps of 5. How many jumps of 5 make 30? Write this as a division sentence.

2.Choose the quotient for 168 ÷ 7. Which multiplication fact proves your choice?

22, because 7 × 22 = 168
24, because 7 × 24 = 168
26, because 7 × 26 = 168
28, because 7 × 28 = 168

Share the supplies

A community garden is preparing seed packets and tools for volunteers.

3.The garden has 234 seeds to put equally into 3 trays. How many seeds go in each tray?

4.There are 125 seedlings. Volunteers place 4 seedlings in each small pot. How many full pots can they fill, and how many seedlings are left over?

5.The garden has 287 labels to share equally among 6 rows. Work out how many labels each row gets and how many are left over. Check with multiplication.

6.A volunteer says 456 ÷ 8 = 56. Is the answer correct? Use a multiplication fact to explain.

Plan the delivery

Use division to make a sensible plan for getting the garden supplies to their destinations.

7.A delivery has 315 small pots. Each crate holds 9 pots. How many full crates can be packed?

8.There are 170 packets of compost to share equally between 8 community plots. How many packets does each plot get, and how many are left for storage?

9.The garden collected 192 vegetables and packs them in bags of 4. Complete the related facts: 192 ÷ 4 = and 4 × = 192.

10.A team shares 143 seed packets equally among 5 volunteers. One volunteer claims everyone can get 29 packets. Explain why that cannot be right, then give the correct share and remainder.

11.Show one way to work out 196 ÷ 7 by splitting 196 into two numbers that are easy to divide by 7. Then check your answer.
