Long Division with Multi-Digit Divisors — Answer Key
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. A van seats 12 people. If 150 people need rides, how many vans are required so everyone gets a seat?
A) 13 vans
B) 12 vans
C) 14 vans
D) 11 vans
Grade 5 reasoning: 12 times 12 equals 144 with 6 left over; since everyone must ride, round up to 13 vans.
2. A scout troop sells 720 candy bars in packs of 16. How many full packs do they sell?
A) 45 packs
B) 44 packs
C) 46 packs
D) 40 packs
Grade 5 long division: 16 times 45 equals 720, so the troop sells exactly 45 full packs with no remainder.
3. A school cafeteria has 425 sandwiches for groups of 18 students. How many full groups can be fed?
A) 23 groups
B) 24 groups
C) 22 groups
D) 25 groups
Grade 5 reasoning: 18 times 23 equals 414 with 11 left over; only 23 full groups of 18 can be fed.
4. A printing job uses 28 sheets of paper per book. With 980 sheets, how many complete books can be printed?
A) 35 books
B) 36 books
C) 34 books
D) 33 books
Grade 5 long division: 28 times 35 equals 980, so exactly 35 complete books can be printed with no remainder.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. A team has 348 stickers to share among 15 members. Each member gets 23 stickers, with 3 left over.
Grade 5 long division: 15 times 23 equals 345, and 348 minus 345 equals 3, so each member gets 23 stickers with 3 remaining.
2. If 562 marbles are packed in bags of 24, the number of full bags is 23.
Grade 5 long division: 24 times 23 equals 552 with 10 left over, so only 23 full bags of marbles can be packed.
3. A camp needs to seat 290 campers in cabins of 14. The camp must use 21 cabins to seat everyone.
Grade 5 reasoning: 14 times 20 equals 280 with 10 left over; the camp must round up to 21 cabins so every camper has a place.
4. A store has 864 cans to stack in rows of 36. The number of complete rows is 24.
Grade 5 long division: 36 times 24 equals 864, so exactly 24 complete rows are stacked with no cans left over.
5. A recipe needs 16 ounces of flour per cake. With 200 ounces, the baker can make 12 complete cakes.
Grade 5 long division: 16 times 12 equals 192 with 8 ounces left over, so only 12 complete cakes can be made.
