Dividing Decimals By 2 Digit Whole Numbers Practice Activities
Printable Class 6 maths worksheets for practising decimal division where the divisor is a two-digit whole number.
Practice that builds confidence
What this skill teaches
These Class 6 maths worksheets help children divide decimals by two-digit whole numbers with care and confidence. Learners practise setting out long division, placing the decimal point correctly, and using zeros when the division continues.
The printable activities include varied decimal dividends divided by whole-number divisors such as 12, 15, 24, or 36. They are useful for revision after decimals division lessons, extra home practice, or focused classroom work.
Dividing decimals by 2 digit whole numbers brings together place value, multiplication facts, estimation, and long division. In a problem such as 18.72 ÷ 24, children first treat the divisor as a whole number, divide digit by digit, and place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend. This helps them see that the decimal point is not guessed; it follows place value.
How the practice progresses
The worksheets move from neatly presented divisions to mixed questions that require more attention. Some questions divide exactly, while others may need children to add a zero after the decimal part to continue dividing. This builds the habit of reading the dividend carefully, checking the divisor, and using multiplication to decide each quotient digit.
A simple home routine
Parents can begin with one worked example together. Ask your child to estimate first: “Will 6.3 ÷ 15 be less than 1?” Then let them solve, saying each step aloud: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down. After every 4 or 5 sums, ask them to check one answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor. This short routine strengthens both accuracy and number sense.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables for guided practice after teaching decimal division, independent classwork, maths centres, or remedial support. A useful classroom method is to display one question and have pupils mark the decimal point before doing any division. Pair checking also works well: one child solves, while the other checks subtraction steps and decimal placement.
Common errors to watch for
Children often forget to bring the decimal point into the quotient, write the quotient in the wrong place, or stop too early when a remainder remains after the last digit. Some may confuse this skill with dividing by a decimal, but here the divisor is already a whole number. Encourage neat columns, correct subtraction, and checking by multiplication.

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 iBloom activities give repeated, focused practice on one exact Class 6 skill instead of mixing too many methods at once. A child-friendly strategy is: “Estimate, place the point, divide, and check.” This keeps the process manageable and helps learners become more fluent with decimal division by two-digit whole numbers.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What is the main skill in these worksheets?
Children practise dividing decimal numbers by two-digit whole numbers, using long division and correct decimal point placement in the quotient.
How should my child place the decimal point in the answer?
The decimal point in the quotient should be placed directly above the decimal point in the dividend. The divisor is a whole number, so it does not need to be moved.
What should a child do if there is still a remainder?
If the division has not finished, the child can add a zero after the decimal part of the dividend and continue dividing, as long as the question requires a complete decimal answer.
How can answers be checked?
Multiply the quotient by the two-digit divisor. If the multiplication gives the original decimal dividend, the division is correct.
Are these suitable for Class 6 revision?
Yes. They are designed for Class 6 maths practice after children have learnt decimal place value and the long division method with whole-number divisors.
Is this Class 6 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.
