Long Division Basic Facts Practice Activities
Printable Class 4 maths practice to strengthen division facts, table recall, remainders, and checking skills needed for long division.
Practice that builds confidence
Building the facts behind long division
These Class 4 maths worksheets help children practise the basic facts that make long division easier: recalling multiplication tables, finding related division facts, identifying the dividend, divisor and quotient, and checking answers accurately.
The printable activities include fact-family style questions, missing-number division, simple long-division steps, and problems where children use multiplication to verify the quotient. They are useful before children move into longer calculations with larger numbers.
Long division becomes much less confusing when children can quickly connect multiplication and division. A fact such as 7 × 6 = 42 also gives 42 ÷ 7 = 6 and 42 ÷ 6 = 7. These worksheets focus on that link so Class 4 learners do not have to guess each step of a division sum. They also practise vocabulary such as dividend, divisor, quotient and remainder in a simple, repeated way.
How the practice progresses
The pages begin with direct division facts and move towards missing numbers, suitable table facts, and short long-division layouts. Children learn to ask, “Which table fact fits here?” before writing a quotient digit. Where a number does not divide exactly, they record the remainder and check that the remainder is smaller than the divisor.
A simple parent routine
At home, choose one page and sit beside your child for the first few sums. Ask them to say the related multiplication fact aloud before writing the answer: “If 8 × 4 = 32, then 32 ÷ 8 = 4.” For checking, use the rule quotient × divisor + remainder = dividend. If the answer does not match, return to the table fact rather than rubbing everything out immediately.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables as warm-up sheets before a long-division lesson, as revision in small maths groups, or as independent practice for children who need stronger table recall. They also work well for quick error analysis: ask pupils to circle the fact they used, then compare it with the written quotient.
Common errors and a child-friendly strategy
Watch for children swapping the divisor and dividend, choosing a table fact that is too large, or writing a remainder equal to or greater than the divisor. A helpful strategy is: Look at the divisor, think of its table, choose the biggest fact that fits, multiply back, then subtract or check. This keeps the child focused on one small decision at a time.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does “basic facts” mean in long division?
It means the table and division facts children use inside long division, such as knowing that 56 ÷ 7 = 8 because 7 × 8 = 56.
Are these worksheets suitable before full long division?
Yes. They help Class 4 children strengthen the recall and checking skills needed before handling longer division sums with more steps.
Do children need to memorise tables first?
Good table recall helps, but these worksheets also reinforce the connection between multiplication and division, so children can improve as they practise.
How should my child check a division answer?
Ask them to multiply the quotient by the divisor and then add any remainder. The result should match the dividend.
What mistake should I watch for most often?
Many children choose a table fact that is too large or forget that the remainder must be smaller than the divisor. Encourage them to multiply back and check.
