Division with Remainders Worksheet: Free Year 5 Maths with Answers

This free, printable worksheet helps children divide with remainders. They divide using times table facts and write answers such as 7 r 2, work backwards to find missing numbers, and decide what to do with the remainder in three short word problems.

It prints on one A4 page, and the answers print on a second page for grown-ups.

Division with Remainders

Free Maths worksheet · Ages 9 to 10

Name:

A pirate captain sharing out gold coins into treasure chests on a ship's deck, drawn as black outlines for colouring in.

Divide

Write each answer with its remainder, using r.

1.37 ÷ 7 =
2.40 ÷ 6 =
3.61 ÷ 9 =
4.33 ÷ 4 =
5.29 ÷ 7 =
6.39 ÷ 5 =
7.43 ÷ 4 =
8.56 ÷ 8 =
9.25 ÷ 3 =

Find the missing number

Work backwards: multiply, then add the remainder.

1. ÷ 5 = 8 r 2
2. ÷ 9 = 7 r 6
3. ÷ 3 = 4 r 2

What happens to the remainder?

Should you round up, round down or give the remainder?

18 children go on a boat trip. Each boat holds 4. How many boats are needed?
A baker has 40 buns. Each box holds 6. How many boxes can she fill?
51 stickers are shared equally between 8 friends. How many are left over?

Answers: Division with Remainders

Sheet 168

37 ÷ 7 = 5 r 2
40 ÷ 6 = 6 r 4
61 ÷ 9 = 6 r 7
33 ÷ 4 = 8 r 1
29 ÷ 7 = 4 r 1
39 ÷ 5 = 7 r 4
43 ÷ 4 = 10 r 3
56 ÷ 8 = 7
25 ÷ 3 = 8 r 1
42 ÷ 5 = 8 r 2
69 ÷ 9 = 7 r 6
14 ÷ 3 = 4 r 2
18 children go on a boat trip. Each boat holds 4. How many boats are needed? — 5 boats (18 ÷ 4 = 4 r 2, so 1 more boat is needed)
A baker has 40 buns. Each box holds 6. How many boxes can she fill? — 6 boxes (40 ÷ 6 = 6 r 4; the 4 left over do not fill a box)
51 stickers are shared equally between 8 friends. How many are left over? — 3 (51 ÷ 8 = 6 r 3)

Answer key

37 ÷ 7 = 5 r 2
40 ÷ 6 = 6 r 4
61 ÷ 9 = 6 r 7
33 ÷ 4 = 8 r 1
29 ÷ 7 = 4 r 1
39 ÷ 5 = 7 r 4
43 ÷ 4 = 10 r 3
56 ÷ 8 = 7
25 ÷ 3 = 8 r 1
42 ÷ 5 = 8 r 2
69 ÷ 9 = 7 r 6
14 ÷ 3 = 4 r 2
18 children go on a boat trip. Each boat holds 4. How many boats are needed? — 5 boats (18 ÷ 4 = 4 r 2, so 1 more boat is needed)
A baker has 40 buns. Each box holds 6. How many boxes can she fill? — 6 boxes (40 ÷ 6 = 6 r 4; the 4 left over do not fill a box)
51 stickers are shared equally between 8 friends. How many are left over? — 3 (51 ÷ 8 = 6 r 3)

What a remainder is

A remainder is what is left over when a number cannot be shared or grouped exactly. For 23 ÷ 4, four 5s are 20 and there are 3 left, so 23 ÷ 4 = 5 r 3. The remainder must always be smaller than the number you are dividing by. If it is not, another group would fit.

How to help at home

Share out real things that do not divide exactly, such as 17 grapes between 3 people. Each person gets 5, and 2 are left over. Then ask what to do with the 2. In a story, the answer depends on the question: 26 people in cars that each take 4 need 7 cars, not 6 r 2.

When remainders are taught

The National Curriculum in England first names remainders in Year 5, when children divide numbers up to 4 digits by a one-digit number and interpret remainders for the context. Schools can teach content earlier within key stage 2, so your child may meet simple remainders in Year 4. This sheet uses times table facts, so it suits both years.

Frequently asked questions

What year group learns division with remainders?

Year 5, when children are 9 to 10. That is when the National Curriculum in England asks children to interpret remainders. The questions here only need times tables up to 12 × 12, so a confident Year 4 child can try them too.

Should my child write a remainder as r or as a fraction?

Start with r, as in 23 ÷ 4 = 5 r 3. In Years 5 and 6, children also learn to show a remainder as a fraction, as a decimal or by rounding, depending on the question.

Is this worksheet really free?

Yes. Print it, save it as a PDF or share it with other parents and teachers. There is no sign-up and no email needed.
