Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down
Long division is four moves repeated, and where it goes wrong is almost never the arithmetic — it is a column drifting sideways until the wrong digits get subtracted. So this sheet puts every digit in its own square of graph paper, and the answer key shows every step, not just the answer.
Four moves, over and over, one column at a time.
A long division worksheet generator, printable as a PDF. Choose how many digits the number being divided has, from 2 to 5, and the divisor, 1 or 2, and whether the problems have remainders — on a remainder sheet every problem has one, written after the answer as R 3, as a fraction in simplest form (7 3/4), or as a decimal, with the division carried on past the point to 7.75. The decimal sheets only ask divisions that come out even within two places. Problems are set out the American way: the divisor outside the bracket, the dividend under the bar, the answer on top. They print on quarter-inch graph paper, the size used in US classrooms, with room underneath for every step. The answer key writes out the whole working — each product, each subtraction and each digit brought down — so a parent can see exactly which step went wrong.

Divide
How many times does the divisor go in? Write it on top, over the last digit used.
Subtract
Multiply, write the product underneath, and subtract.
Bring down
The next digit, and start again until none are left.
Number being divided
Dividing by
Remainders
Every problem has a remainder unless you pick None. R 3 is fourth grade; a fraction in simplest form, 7 3/4, is fifth; a decimal, carried on past the point to 7.75, is sixth — and only divisions that end within two places are asked.
