This Grade 5 long division worksheet centers on interpreting remainders in real-world contexts. Students decide when to round the quotient up (37 students into vans of 8 needs 5 vans, not 4 R 5), when to drop the remainder (only fully packed boxes count), and when to leave the leftover as is. Multiple-choice and fill-in items push Grade 5 learners to read each situation carefully and choose the answer the context demands, matching standard 5.NBT.6.

Long Division with Multi-Digit Divisors
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. 37 students need vans that hold 8 students each. How many vans are needed?
A) 4 vans
B) 5 vans
C) 4 R 5 vans
D) 8 vans
2. A baker has 50 cookies and packs them in boxes of 6. How many full boxes does she fill?
A) 6 boxes
B) 7 boxes
C) 8 boxes
D) 9 boxes
3. Mrs. Lee shares 95 pencils equally among 7 students. How many pencils does each student get if leftovers stay in the box?
A) 12 pencils
B) 13 pencils
C) 14 pencils
D) 15 pencils
4. A bus holds 24 riders. The school needs to transport 150 students. How many buses are required?
A) 6 buses
B) 7 buses
C) 5 buses
D) 6 R 6 buses
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. When 37 ÷ 8 = 4 R 5 and every leftover student still needs a van, the answer must be rounded up.
2. When 50 ÷ 6 = 8 R 2 and you only count fully packed boxes, you drop the remainder.
3. When 95 ÷ 7 = 13 R 4 and each student keeps the whole-number share, the remainder stays as a leftover amount.
4. When 150 ÷ 24 = 6 R 6 and every rider must be seated, you must round up to 7 buses.
5. Choosing what to do with the remainder depends on how the real-world situation asks you to interpret it.
