Long Division — Answer Key
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. There are 365 days in a year. How many full weeks is that?
A) 51
B) 52
C) 53
D) 54
365 ÷ 7 = 52 R1. There are 52 full weeks and 1 extra day in a year.
2. A number divided by 8 gives 273. The same number divided by 6 gives what?
A) 328
B) 346
C) 356
D) 364
Number = 273 × 8 = 2,184. Then 2,184 ÷ 6 = 364.
3. A store has 1,329 pencils and packs them in boxes of 5. How many pencils are left over?
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
1,329 ÷ 5 = 265 R4. There are 4 pencils left over.
4. If the quotient is 347, the divisor is 6, and the remainder is 5, what is the dividend?
A) 2,077
B) 2,082
C) 2,087
D) 2,092
Dividend = quotient × divisor + remainder = 347 × 6 + 5 = 2,082 + 5 = 2,087.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. A truck carries 3,500 kg. Each crate weighs 8 kg. The truck holds 437 full crates.
3,500 ÷ 8 = 437 R4. The truck holds 437 full crates with 4 kg remaining.
2. 4,623 ÷ 7 = 660 R3
7 × 660 = 4,620. 4,623 − 4,620 = 3. Quotient = 660.
3. Maria reads 9 pages per day. A book has 500 pages. She finishes in 55 full days plus part of another day.
500 ÷ 9 = 55 R5. She reads for 55 full days (and needs a partial 56th day for the last 5 pages).
4. If dividend = quotient × divisor + remainder, then 863 = 215 × 4 + 3.
215 × 4 = 860. 860 + 3 = 863. The dividend is 863.
5. 2,946 ÷ 3 = 982
3 × 982 = 2,946. Divide: 29÷3=9 R2; 24÷3=8; 6÷3=2. Quotient = 982.
