Division facts are the times tables turned around: 56 divided by 7 is 8 because 7 times 8 is 56. They always come out exactly. With a remainder gives sums such as 47 divided by 5, where the child writes the quotient and what is left over. 3 digits by 1 digit gives longer sums that divide exactly, for working by the long division method in a notebook.
Tips for parents and teachers
- A child who is slow at division facts usually needs more table practice, not more division. Go back to the multiplication sheet for a few days.
- For remainders, teach the check: quotient times divisor, plus remainder, gives the first number.
- The remainder must always be smaller than the divisor. If it is not, the quotient is too small.
- Long division needs space. Let the child work in a squared notebook and copy only the answer to the sheet.

Common questions
What do quotient and remainder mean?
The quotient is how many times the divisor fits in. The remainder is what is left. In 47 divided by 5, the quotient is 9 and the remainder is 2, because 5 times 9 is 45 and 2 are left.
