Long Division 5X1 Digit With Remainder Practice Activities
Grade 5 students practise dividing 5-digit numbers by 1-digit divisors and writing accurate remainders.
Practice that builds confidence
What this skill covers
These Grade 5 long division worksheets help students divide 5-digit dividends by 1-digit divisors, including problems that leave a remainder. Children practise estimating, dividing, multiplying, subtracting, bringing down, and checking each quotient.
The printable activities include carefully arranged long division problems with space to show work. They are useful for independent practice, homework, review packets, and small-group support in the Math > Grade 5 > Multiplication Division strand.
In these worksheets, students work with long division such as a 5-digit number divided by a single digit, for example 42,735 ÷ 6. The focus is not just finding an answer, but recording each step clearly and deciding what to do when the final amount cannot be divided evenly. Students write a quotient and a remainder, then consider whether the remainder is reasonable.
Building the long division routine
The practice follows the standard long division sequence: divide, multiply, subtract, compare, and bring down. With 5-digit dividends, students must repeat the cycle several times, so careful place-value thinking matters. A quotient may include zeros in the middle or end, and each partial remainder must be smaller than the divisor before the next digit is brought down.
Parent practice routine
At home, have your child complete three to five problems with all work shown. Ask them to say each step aloud: “How many groups of 7 fit here? What do I multiply? What is left?” After the answer is written, choose one problem to check by multiplying the divisor by the quotient and adding the remainder. This makes the remainder part of the answer, not an afterthought.
Classroom uses
Teachers can use these printables after modeling long division with place-value language, during math centers, or as a quick reteach group for students who lose track of the algorithm. They also work well for error analysis: display a solved problem with a too-large remainder or a skipped zero in the quotient and let students explain the correction.
Common errors to watch for
Students may subtract incorrectly, bring down the wrong digit, write a remainder larger than the divisor, or forget to place a zero when a digit does not divide into the current partial dividend. Encourage them to compare after every subtraction and to line up digits vertically.

Answers and answer key support
After the child completes the worksheet independently, parents and teachers can use the answer support or answer key information to check the work, review mistakes, and choose the next practice step.
Why iBloom worksheets help
The problems give repeated practice with one clearly defined skill: 5-by-1 digit long division with remainders. A child-friendly strategy is “check the leftover”: after each subtraction, the leftover must be less than the divisor. If it is not, try a larger quotient digit before moving on.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What type of division is practised on this page?
Students practise long division with 5-digit dividends divided by 1-digit divisors, with answers that may include remainders.
Should students show every step?
Yes. Showing the divide, multiply, subtract, and bring-down steps helps students find errors and understand how the remainder is formed.
How can my child check a long division answer with a remainder?
Multiply the divisor by the quotient, then add the remainder. The result should match the original dividend.
What is a common mistake with remainders?
A frequent mistake is leaving a remainder that is equal to or larger than the divisor. The remainder must always be smaller than the divisor.
Are these worksheets suitable for review?
Yes. They are focused enough for reteaching and also useful as Grade 5 review once students know the long division process.
Is this grade 5 long division 5 digit by 1 digit with remainder worksheet free?
Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
Can I download this grade 5 long division 5 digit by 1 digit with remainder worksheet as a PDF?
Yes. Use the worksheet download option to save a printable PDF, or print the worksheet directly from the page.
