Long Division By 2 Digit Divisors Practice Activities
Class 6 maths practice for dividing larger numbers by 2 digit divisors using estimation, long division steps, quotients, and remainders.
Practice that builds confidence
Building the long division method
These Class 6 mathematics worksheets help children practise long division by 2 digit divisors within the Multiplication Division topic. Learners work through the full division process: estimate, divide, multiply, subtract, bring down, and check the quotient.
The printable activities include carefully arranged division sums that build confidence with 2 digit divisors, multi-step working, and remainders. They are useful for home revision, maths notebooks, classroom practice, or extra support after the concept has been introduced.
Long division with a 2 digit divisor asks children to hold several ideas together. They must identify the dividend, divisor, quotient, and remainder, then decide how many times a number such as 24, 36, or 58 can fit into part of a larger number. The worksheets give space for the repeated cycle of divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down so children can see the structure rather than guess.
From estimation to accurate quotients
A strong estimate makes 2 digit divisor problems less confusing. For example, in a sum like 738 ÷ 24, children can think of 24 as close to 25, or use known multiples such as 24 × 3 = 72 and 24 × 30 = 720. This supports sensible quotient choices and helps them adjust when the product is too high or too low.
A simple parent routine
At home, ask your child to read the sum aloud first: “dividend divided by divisor.” Next, have them list two or three useful multiples of the divisor before starting the long division. After solving, they should check by multiplying divisor × quotient and adding the remainder. This quick check turns division into a connected multiplication-division habit.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables for guided practice, independent maths work, revision before tests, or small-group support. One sheet can be used for board modelling, while another becomes a notebook task. Partners can compare only the estimate first, then check the full working, which encourages mathematical discussion without simply copying answers.
Common errors to watch for
Children may place a quotient digit in the wrong column, subtract incorrectly, forget to bring down the next digit, or allow a remainder that is bigger than the divisor. Another common issue is choosing a quotient digit by trial without checking the multiplication. Encourage neat columns and one line of working for each step.

Why iBloom worksheets help
iBloom worksheets keep the focus on the exact Class 6 skill: long division by 2 digit divisors. The practice moves from method-building to more independent solving, with enough repetition for fluency and enough variety to prevent memorising patterns. A child-friendly strategy is: estimate first, write the product, subtract carefully, then ask, “Is my remainder smaller than the divisor?”
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What skill do these Class 6 worksheets focus on?
They focus on long division where the divisor has 2 digits. Children practise estimating quotient digits, completing the long division steps, and handling remainders correctly.
How can my child choose the correct quotient digit?
Ask your child to use nearby multiples of the divisor. For example, for 36, they can think of 36 × 5 = 180 or 36 × 10 = 360, then adjust the quotient digit if the product is too large or too small.
Should children check every long division answer?
Yes. The best check is divisor × quotient + remainder = dividend. This helps children connect division with multiplication and spot calculation mistakes.
What mistakes are common with 2 digit divisors?
Common mistakes include writing the quotient digit in the wrong place, subtracting incorrectly, forgetting to bring down the next digit, and leaving a remainder that is greater than or equal to the divisor.
Can these worksheets be used for classroom revision?
Yes. Teachers can use them for independent practice, small-group support, homework, or revision after teaching long division by 2 digit divisors.
