Complete Long Division Practice with a Chosen Divisor (Step-by-Step)

What Is Long Division?

Long Division is a step-by-step method used to divide large numbers by a smaller number (the divisor). Instead of dividing the entire number at once, the division is performed digit by digit from left to right, producing intermediate results at each step.

In Long Division, every step follows the same fixed sequence:

• Divide the current part of the dividend by the divisor
• Multiply the quotient digit by the divisor
• Subtract the result
• Bring down the next digit

This process continues until all digits of the dividend are used.

Why Intermediate Steps Matter in Long Division

Many learners struggle with division because intermediate calculations happen mentally and mistakes go unnoticed. Writing down each intermediate step makes the division process transparent, verifiable, and easier to understand.

This worksheet is designed to force correct sequencing of steps so that no part of the process is skipped.

How This Online Division Worksheet Works

In this interactive worksheet:

• You choose a fixed divisor
• Each problem presents a multi-digit dividend
• You enter values for every intermediate step
• Each entry is checked instantly as you type
• Incorrect values are visually highlighted
• The cursor automatically moves to the next logical input

This ensures that the Long Division algorithm is followed correctly from start to finish.

Features

• The visual representation of the 'Bringing Down Digits' process that is clearly illustrated with intuitive arrows that guides you step by step.
• To get started, you have three inputs to customize the problems according to your preferences. First, choose a divisor from the set of values ranging from 2 to 25.
• Next, determine the number of digits for the dividend, selecting from values between 3 and 6.
• An exciting feature of this worksheet is the option to decide whether the problems should have zero remainders or not.
• The goal of this worksheet is not just to obtain the final quotient, but to master the complete Long Division process. By practicing every intermediate calculation explicitly, learners develop a strong conceptual understanding of Long Division.

After mastering the Long Division process using a chosen divisor, learners can strengthen their adaptability by practicing Long Division practice with random divisors.
