Long Division 2 Digit With Remainder Practice Activities
Grade 5 students practise long division with 2-digit divisors and remainders using clear printable activities that build accuracy and checking habits.
Practice that builds confidence
Understanding the Skill
These Grade 5 math worksheets focus on long division with 2-digit divisors where the answer includes a remainder. Children practise estimating, dividing, multiplying, subtracting, bringing down, and writing the remainder correctly instead of stopping when the quotient is not exact.
The printable activities give students repeated practice within the Multiplication Division unit, with problems designed to strengthen place value, multiplication facts, and careful written layout. They are useful for independent practice, review, homework, or small-group support.
Long division with a 2-digit divisor asks students to decide how many groups of a larger number can be made when each group has a 2-digit size. Because many problems do not divide evenly, children must record a remainder and understand that it is the amount left over after making equal groups.
From Estimation to Remainders
The work depends on estimating with compatible numbers, using multiplication to test a quotient digit, and subtracting accurately. Students learn that a remainder must be smaller than the divisor. For example, if the divisor is 24, a remainder of 24 or more means another group can still be made.
A Simple Parent Routine
At home, have your child read the divisor first and say, “What multiple is close?” Ask them to write one quotient digit, multiply, subtract, and compare the remainder with the divisor before moving on. After finishing, they can check with: divisor × quotient + remainder = dividend. This routine keeps the focus on reasoning, not guessing.
Classroom Uses
Teachers can use these printables for morning review, division centers, exit tickets, or targeted reteaching after a lesson on 2-digit divisors. They also work well for partner checking: one student solves while the other watches for place value alignment, subtraction errors, and whether each remainder is reasonable.
Common Errors to Watch For
Students may place a quotient digit in the wrong column, subtract the smaller number from the larger number in each column without regrouping, forget to bring down the next digit, or write a remainder that is too large. A child-friendly strategy is: “Estimate, multiply, subtract, compare.” If the leftover amount is equal to or bigger than the divisor, try a larger quotient digit.

iBloom worksheets give focused practice on this exact Grade 5 skill instead of mixing too many division types at once. The clear problem format supports neat working, and the repeated examples help children build fluency while still checking each remainder for meaning.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does long division with a 2-digit divisor mean?
It means dividing a number by a divisor such as 12, 25, or 48, then using the long division steps to find the quotient and any remainder left over.
How can my child check an answer with a remainder?
Use the check: divisor × quotient + remainder = dividend. The remainder should also be less than the divisor.
Why does my child keep getting remainders that are too large?
A large remainder usually means the quotient digit was too small. Have your child compare the remainder with the divisor before continuing.
Are these worksheets for learning the method or for practice?
They are best for practice and review after students have been introduced to long division with 2-digit divisors.
What skills should students know before using these worksheets?
Students should be comfortable with multiplication facts, subtraction with regrouping, place value, and basic long division steps.
