Division Facts 0-10 — Answer Key
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. A pet shop has 36 fish and puts 4 fish in each tank. How many tanks are needed?
A) 7
B) 8
C) 9
D) 10
Dividing 36 fish into groups of 4 gives 36 ÷ 4 = 9 tanks, because 4 x 9 = 36 fills them exactly.
2. Which division fact has a quotient of 7?
A) 42 ÷ 7
B) 49 ÷ 7
C) 56 ÷ 7
D) 63 ÷ 7
A quotient of 7 means the answer is 7. Since 7 x 7 = 49, dividing 49 by 7 gives exactly 7.
3. Maya has 29 beads and uses 6 beads per bracelet. How many beads are left after making as many bracelets as possible?
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 5
Maya can make 4 bracelets (4 x 6 = 24 beads). That leaves 29 − 24 = 5 beads as the remainder.
4. If 90 ÷ 10 = 9, what is 10 x 9?
A) 80
B) 90
C) 100
D) 99
Multiplication and division are opposite operations in the same fact family. If 90 ÷ 10 = 9, then 10 x 9 must return to the original 90.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. A farmer packs 56 eggs into cartons of 7. He fills 8 cartons.
Divide the eggs by the carton size: 56 ÷ 7 = 8 cartons, because 7 x 8 = 56 fills them all exactly.
2. When you divide 38 by 7, the quotient is 5 with a remainder of 3
Five groups of 7 make 35. Subtracting 35 from 38 leaves 3 extras, which is the remainder.
3. If 7 x 6 = 42, then 42 ÷ 6 = 7
Division finds the missing factor. Because 7 x 6 = 42, dividing 42 by 6 returns the other factor, 7.
4. 50 ÷ 5 = 10
Counting by fives reaches 50 in 10 jumps (5, 10, 15...50), so 50 ÷ 5 = 10.
5. A store puts 81 cans on 9 equal shelves. Each shelf holds 9 cans.
Sharing 81 cans equally among 9 shelves means 81 ÷ 9 = 9 cans per shelf, because 9 x 9 = 81.
