Short Division with Remainders

Solve each problem using short division. Write answers as a quotient with a remainder where needed. Check by multiplying the quotient by the divisor, then adding the remainder.

Warm-up calculations

Show your short-division working. Record each answer as quotient r remainder.

1. Calculate 157 ÷ 6. Write the quotient and remainder.

2. Calculate 238 ÷ 7. Write the quotient and remainder.

3. Calculate 329 ÷ 8. Write the quotient and remainder.

4. Calculate 465 ÷ 9. Write the quotient and remainder.

Check the division

A student says that 284 ÷ 5 = 56 r 4. Is the answer correct? Explain how you checked it, and give the correct answer if needed.

1.Which is a valid answer for 197 ÷ 6?
  • 32 r 5
  • 31 r 11
  • 33 r 1
  • 30 r 17

Solve the real-life challenges

Read each situation carefully. Decide what the quotient and remainder mean in context.

2.A community festival has 286 mandarins to share equally among 9 food tables. How many mandarins does each table get, and how many are left over?
3.There are 173 people going on a trip. Each minibus seats 8 people. How many minibuses are needed so everyone can travel?
4.A nursery has 432 seedlings. Each tray holds 6 seedlings. How many full trays can the nursery fill?
5.Complete the equation to check this division: 367 ÷ 7 = 52 r 3. Write the missing number: (52 × 7) + 3 = .
6.A remainder can be the same as the divisor. For example, 125 ÷ 6 = 19 r 6. Is this statement true or false? Correct the calculation.
7.Write a three-digit number that gives a remainder of 2 when divided by 5. Then show one correct division sentence using your number.
