About this resource

What's inside this resource

Divide 3-digit by 1-digit Numbers Worksheets These printable worksheets provide unlimited practice dividing 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers. The worksheets include divisions with and without remainders using informal methods like the short division or standard algorithm. There are pages devoted to each divisor from 2 to 9, or pages with a mix of divisors. With the click of a button, new 3-digit dividends are randomly generated for endless differentiated practice. Use these sheets for in-class practice, homework, assessments, and filling gaps. The answer keys allow students to self-check their work. Focus on strengthening specific skills by assigning divisor-specific sheets based on assessments. These no-prep printables are ideal for substitutes. Aligned to 4.NBT.B.6, these provide ample repetitive practice to build fluency dividing 3-digit numbers.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students will divide a three-digit number by a one-digit divisor to find an exact quotient.

  • Students will divide a three-digit number by a one-digit divisor and express the leftover amount as a remainder.

  • Students will apply long division fluently across a mix of different one-digit divisors on the same page.

Teaching tips

  • Start with Worksheet Set 1 (single divisor, no remainder) before introducing Set 3's remainder problems, since the sets build from simpler to more complex divisor and remainder combinations.

  • Use the guide page's described button feature to generate fresh problem sets for repeated practice, if the delivered file is the interactive version rather than the static pages sampled here.

  • Check student work against the fully worked answer key page, which shows each quotient (and remainder, where applicable) directly beneath its problem.

Skills covered

  • Three-digit by one-digit long division — students divide numbers like 927 or 707 by a single-digit divisor.

  • Remainder interpretation — students express a division result with a leftover amount as a remainder rather than rounding or ignoring it.

  • Mixed-divisor division practice — students apply long division across several different divisors within the same worksheet.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How do the four worksheet sets in this bundle differ from one another?

Set 1 uses one divisor at a time with exact answers, Set 2 mixes several divisors together with exact answers, Set 3 uses one divisor at a time but every answer has a remainder, and Set 4 mixes divisors with remainders in every answer.
