Class 4 Maths — Division with remainders

Divide by a single digit, and say what is left over when it does not go exactly.

Name: ________________________

Before you start

Twenty-four ones in a row. Count along it in fives and see where you come to a stop.

Four fives reach 20 and there is not enough left for a fifth. The 4 still sitting there is the remainder, and it is always smaller than the number you were counting in.

1.Which division leaves nothing over?
- a) 75 ÷ 8
- b) 72 ÷ 8
- c) 73 ÷ 8
- d) 74 ÷ 8
2.Work out each division, then sort it by whether it goes exactly or leaves something over.
Groups: Goes exactly · Leaves something over
- 45 ÷ 7
- 50 ÷ 8
- 63 ÷ 9
- 70 ÷ 4
- 36 ÷ 6
- 40 ÷ 5
3.You divide a number by 6. Which of these could the remainder never be?
- a) 3
- b) 6
- c) 0
- d) 5
4.Divide 68 by 7. What is left over?
