Dividing Whole Numbers By 10 100 1000 Up To 1000000 Practice Activities
Class 6 maths worksheets for practising division of whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1000, including answers written as whole numbers or decimals.
Practice that builds confidence
What the skill means
These Class 6 maths worksheets help children divide whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1000, using numbers up to 10,00,000. The focus is on understanding how place value changes when a number is divided by powers of ten.
The printable activities include direct calculations, missing-number questions, place-value reasoning and mixed practice where answers may be whole numbers or decimals. Children learn to move beyond shortcuts and explain why the digits shift to the right place.
Dividing a whole number by 10, 100 or 1000 is a decimals division skill built on place value. In Class 6, children see that each division makes the number ten times, hundred times or thousand times smaller. For example, 45,000 ÷ 100 = 450, while 7,300 ÷ 1000 = 7.3. The worksheets keep the divisor simple so learners can focus on the movement of digits and the placement of the decimal point.
How the practice progresses
Questions usually begin with clean divisions such as numbers ending in zeros, then move towards answers that need decimals. Learners may divide numbers up to 10,00,000 by 10, 100 and 1000, compare related facts, and complete missing values such as 68,000 ÷ __ = 68. This progression helps them connect division facts, place-value columns and decimal notation instead of memorising a rule without meaning.
A simple parent routine
At home, ask your child to read the whole calculation aloud before writing the answer. Then have them say, “Dividing by 100 makes it 100 times smaller,” and mark the decimal point if needed. Use quick mental checks: if the number is divided by 10, the answer should be smaller but not randomly lose digits. Let your child explain one answer in words after every few sums.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables for warm-ups, maths centres, remedial groups or exit tickets after a decimals division lesson. A useful board routine is to draw place-value columns from lakhs to thousandths, then ask pupils to place digits before solving. Mixed questions are especially helpful for spotting who understands powers of ten and who is only crossing out zeros.
Common errors to watch for
Children may remove zeros even when the answer should be decimal, write 5,600 ÷ 1000 as 56, or move the decimal point in the wrong direction. Some also forget that a whole number has an invisible decimal point at the end. Encourage careful spacing, zero placeholders and estimation: a number divided by 1000 must be much smaller than the original.

Why iBloom worksheets help
The activities give repeated, focused practice without overwhelming the child with unrelated operations. A child-friendly strategy is: find the decimal point, move it left for division, count one place for each zero in 10, 100 or 1000, and check that the answer is smaller.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What do children practise in these Class 6 worksheets?
They practise dividing whole numbers up to 10,00,000 by 10, 100 and 1000, including cases where the answer becomes a decimal.
Should children simply cancel zeros when dividing by 10, 100 or 1000?
No. Cancelling zeros may work for some easy questions, but it fails when the answer is a decimal. Children should understand that the decimal point moves left because the number becomes smaller.
Are decimal answers included?
Yes. The practice includes divisions such as a whole number divided by 100 or 1000 where the quotient may have tenths, hundredths or thousandths.
How can I help my child check an answer?
Ask whether the answer is smaller than the starting number and whether the divisor has one, two or three zeros. Children can also multiply the answer by 10, 100 or 1000 to see if they return to the original number.
What mistake is most common in this topic?
A common mistake is moving the decimal point in the wrong direction or dropping zeros without using them as placeholders. Place-value columns can help prevent this.
