Dividing Decimals By 2 Digit Whole Numbers Practice Activities
Grade 6 worksheets for practicing long division of decimal numbers by 2-digit whole-number divisors with careful decimal placement.
Practice that builds confidence
Building from whole-number division
These Grade 6 math worksheets help students divide decimal numbers by 2-digit whole numbers, such as dividing a money amount, measurement, or decimal quantity into equal groups. Children practise setting up long division, estimating reasonable quotients, and placing the decimal point accurately.
The printable activities include structured problems that build fluency with decimal dividends and whole-number divisors. Students work through division steps, use place value to add zeros when needed, and check whether their quotient makes sense.
Dividing decimals by 2-digit whole numbers uses the same long division structure students already know: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down, and repeat. The new responsibility is tracking place value. In a problem such as 18.6 ÷ 12, the decimal in the quotient is placed directly above the decimal in the dividend before continuing the division.
Decimal placement and place value
These worksheets focus on dividends that contain decimals while the divisor remains a 2-digit whole number. Students learn that the divisor does not need to be changed because it is already a whole number. If the division does not end at the last digit shown, they may annex zeros to the right of the decimal and continue, treating 4.5 as 4.50 or 4.500 when needed.
A simple parent routine
At home, ask your child to read the problem aloud, estimate first, then solve. For 36.9 ÷ 15, they might reason that 15 goes into about 30 twice, so the answer should be a little more than 2. After solving, have them multiply the quotient by the divisor to check. This routine builds accuracy without turning the worksheet into guessing.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages for guided practice after modeling decimal long division, independent practice during centers, small-group reteaching, or exit tickets. Problems are especially useful for seeing whether students can keep the decimal point aligned while also managing multi-step division with 2-digit divisors.
Common errors to watch for
Students may forget to place the decimal in the quotient, move the decimal in the divisor even though it is already a whole number, stop too early when a remainder appears, or subtract incorrectly during long division. Encourage neat columns, one digit brought down at a time, and quick estimates before writing a final answer.

Answers and answer key support
After the child completes the worksheet independently, parents and teachers can use the answer support or answer key information to check the work, review mistakes, and choose the next practice step.
Why iBloom worksheets help
The practice is focused on one exact skill: decimal dividends divided by 2-digit whole numbers. That narrow focus helps Grade 6 students build confidence before moving to more complex decimal division. A child-friendly strategy is: “Estimate, place the decimal, divide carefully, then multiply to check.”
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What skill do these worksheets practise?
They practise dividing decimal numbers by 2-digit whole numbers using long division, with attention to decimal placement and checking the quotient.
Are the divisors decimals in these problems?
No. The divisors are 2-digit whole numbers, such as 12, 25, or 48. The decimal is in the dividend being divided.
How should students place the decimal point in the quotient?
Students place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend, then continue the long division steps.
What should a student know before using these worksheets?
Students should be comfortable with basic multiplication facts, long division with whole numbers, place value, and reading decimal numbers.
What if there is still a remainder after all decimal digits are used?
Students can add zeros to the right of the decimal in the dividend and continue dividing, unless the directions ask them to round the quotient.
How can parents help check the answers?
Have the child multiply the quotient by the 2-digit divisor. The product should match the original decimal dividend or be very close if rounding was used.
Is this dividing decimals by 2 digit whole numbers worksheet free?
Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
Can I download this dividing decimals by 2 digit whole numbers worksheet as a PDF?
Yes. Use the worksheet download option to save a printable PDF, or print the worksheet directly from the page.
