Missing Factor Solve By Long Division Practice Activities
Class 5 maths worksheets help children find missing factors by turning multiplication questions into long division problems.
Practice that builds confidence
Understanding the missing factor
These Class 5 maths worksheets help children solve missing factor questions such as 24 × __ = 936 by using long division. Learners connect multiplication and division, identify the known factor and product, and calculate the unknown factor accurately.
The printable activities include clear number sentences, space for long division working, and mixed practice where children decide which number to divide by which. They are useful for revision in the Multiplication Division chapter and for building confidence with multi-digit calculations.
A missing factor problem gives the product and one factor, then asks for the other factor. Children learn to read the equation carefully: in 36 × __ = 1,224, the product is 1,224 and the known factor is 36. The missing factor is found by division, so 1,224 ÷ 36 gives the answer.
Moving from multiplication to division
These worksheets strengthen the inverse relationship between multiplication and division. Instead of guessing the blank, children set up a long division problem, divide step by step, and check whether the quotient multiplied by the known factor gives the original product. This builds both calculation accuracy and mathematical reasoning.
Long division progression
Practice can begin with simpler products that divide evenly, then move to larger numbers and two-digit known factors. Children practise placing digits correctly, carrying remainders through each step, and writing the quotient in the correct place. Since the focus is on missing factors, the final answer should make the multiplication sentence true.
Parent practice routine
At home, ask your child to circle the product, underline the known factor, and say the division sentence aloud before solving. For example: “The product is 768, the known factor is 32, so I divide 768 by 32.” After long division, let your child check using multiplication. This short routine prevents many wrong setups.
Classroom use and common errors
Teachers can use these sheets for independent practice, remedial groups, homework, or maths centres after teaching long division. Watch for children dividing the smaller number by the larger number, copying digits into the wrong place, skipping the check step, or treating the blank as an addend instead of a factor.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What is a missing factor problem in Class 5 maths?
It is a multiplication equation where one factor is not given, such as 18 × __ = 450. Children use the product and the known factor to find the missing number.
How do children solve a missing factor using long division?
They divide the product by the known factor. For example, if 27 × __ = 1,080, they solve 1,080 ÷ 27 to find the missing factor.
Why should children check the answer with multiplication?
Multiplying the quotient by the known factor confirms whether the answer recreates the original product. It helps children catch division or place-value mistakes.
Are these worksheets suitable for revision before tests?
Yes. They focus on a common Multiplication Division skill for Class 5 and give repeated practice in setting up, solving, and checking missing factor questions.
What mistake should parents watch for at home?
The most common mistake is setting up the division in the wrong order. Remind the child to divide the product by the known factor, not the other way around.
