Long Division — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 1,218 ÷ 6 = 203
The answer is 203. Since 6 x 203 = 1,218, the division is exact with no remainder.
2. To estimate 1,985 ÷ 4, use 2,000 ÷ 4 = 500
The answer is 500. Rounding 1,985 to the compatible number 2,000 makes the division simple: 2,000 ÷ 4 = 500, which is close to the exact answer of 496 R1.
3. 3,015 ÷ 5 = 603
The answer is 603. Multiply to verify: 5 x 603 = 3,015, so the quotient is exactly 603.
4. A warehouse stores 2,107 boxes on 7 shelves equally. Each shelf has 301 boxes.
The answer is 301. Dividing 2,107 by 7 gives 301 because 7 x 301 = 2,107, so each shelf holds exactly 301 boxes.
5. 4,032 ÷ 8 = 504
The answer is 504. Since 8 x 504 = 4,032, the division is exact and the quotient is 504.
6. To estimate 2,738 ÷ 9, use 2,700 ÷ 9 = 300
The answer is 300. The number 2,700 is close to 2,738 and divides evenly by 9, giving a quick estimate of 300.
7. 1,806 ÷ 9 = 200 R6
The answer is 200 R6. Since 9 x 200 = 1,800 and 1,806 - 1,800 = 6, the quotient is 200 with a remainder of 6.
8. A school distributes 2,412 books equally to 4 grades. Each grade receives 603 books.
The answer is 603. Dividing 2,412 books into 4 equal groups gives 603 per grade because 4 x 603 = 2,412.
9. 2,709 ÷ 3 = 903
The answer is 903. Since 3 x 903 = 2,709, the division works out perfectly with no remainder.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
1,206 ÷ 6
→ 201
201
2,408 ÷ 8
→ 301
301
3,510 ÷ 9
→ 390
390
1,407 ÷ 3
→ 469
469
Correct matches: 1,206 ÷ 6 → 201; 2,408 ÷ 8 → 301; 3,510 ÷ 9 → 390; 1,407 ÷ 3 → 469.
