Long Division with Remainders Practice (3-Digit ÷ 1-Digit)
Long division can feel like a lot at first because it has multiple steps that must stay in order. Add remainders, and it’s easy for students to lose track of where they are. This Long Division with Remainders worksheet is designed to help students build confidence by using a consistent layout and repeating the same process across every problem.
This printable includes 12 problems that are 3-digit divided by 1-digit, so students can focus on the long-division routine without extra distractions. Each problem has its own workspace, making it easier to show neat, organized work.
What students practice on this worksheet
This page supports the standard long-division process:
-
Divide the first part of the dividend by the divisor.
-
Multiply the quotient digit by the divisor.
-
Subtract to find what remains.
-
Bring down the next digit and repeat.
-
When you can’t divide evenly at the end, write the remainder as R __.
Because every problem follows the same structure, students get repeated practice with the steps that matter most: placing digits correctly in the quotient, subtracting accurately, and remembering to bring down.
Tips for students (and a quick check)
A helpful habit is to do a fast check after finishing:
-
Multiply the divisor × quotient, then
-
Add the remainder.
-
Your result should match the dividend.
This check catches the most common mistakes: subtracting errors, missing a bring-down, or writing the remainder incorrectly.
Common mistakes to watch for
-
Forgetting to bring down the next digit before dividing again
-
Subtracting incorrectly, especially when regrouping is needed
-
Remainder larger than the divisor (if the remainder is bigger, something went wrong)
-
Skipping a quotient digit when the divisor doesn’t go into a number right away (sometimes a 0 is needed in the quotient)
