Division Missing Factors Long Division Practice Activities
Class 6 worksheets for finding missing factors using long division, with practice in dividends, divisors, quotients and checking by multiplication.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn
These Class 6 maths worksheets help children find missing factors by using long division. Learners connect multiplication and division facts, such as finding the unknown number in 36 × __ = 1,404 or 1,404 ÷ 36 = __.
The printable activities include structured long-division problems, missing dividend, divisor and quotient tasks, and check-your-answer exercises. They support careful working, place value, estimation and multiplication-based verification.
Missing factor questions ask children to find an unknown number in a multiplication or division relationship. In this topic, long division is the main tool: if 48 × __ = 2,064, children divide 2,064 by 48 to find the missing factor. They also recognise related vocabulary: dividend, divisor, quotient, factor and product.
How the practice progresses
The worksheets move from clear division layouts to problems where children must decide what is missing. Some questions show the product and one factor; others give a division sentence with a blank. This helps Class 6 learners see that multiplication and division are inverse operations, not separate tricks.
A parent routine for home practice
Ask your child to read the whole equation aloud first. Then have them estimate: “About how many groups of 48 are in 2,064?” Next, let them solve using long division, writing each subtraction step neatly. Finish by multiplying the quotient by the divisor to check the answer. If the check does not match, return to the first place where the subtraction or multiplication may have gone wrong.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these sheets during multiplication-division revision, maths centres, remedial groups or independent practice. A useful classroom approach is to sort questions into three types: missing factor, missing dividend and missing quotient. Pupils can explain which operation they chose before calculating, building reasoning as well as accuracy.
Common errors and a child-friendly strategy
Watch for misplaced digits in the quotient, skipped zeroes, weak multiplication facts and subtracting incorrectly during long division. A simple strategy is: “Read, estimate, divide, multiply to check.” Encourage children to place digits carefully under the correct columns and to compare the final answer with the estimate.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What is a missing factor in Class 6 maths?
A missing factor is an unknown number in a multiplication relationship, such as 42 × __ = 1,260. Children can find it by dividing the product by the known factor.
How does long division help with missing factors?
Long division shows how many times the known factor fits into the product. The quotient becomes the missing factor, and it can be checked by multiplying back.
Should children check every missing factor answer?
Yes. Multiplying the quotient by the divisor is the best check. If the product matches the given number, the missing factor is correct.
What mistakes should I watch for in these worksheets?
Common mistakes include writing quotient digits in the wrong place, forgetting zeroes, making multiplication fact errors and subtracting incorrectly during the long-division steps.
Are these worksheets useful for revision before exams?
Yes. They give targeted practice in the multiplication-division link, long-division layout and missing-number reasoning, all of which are important for Class 6 maths revision.
