Long Division 2X1 Digit Practice Activities
Printable maths drills for practising long division of 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers, including clear quotient and remainder work.
Practice that builds confidence
What children practise
These worksheets help children practise long division where a 2-digit number is divided by a 1-digit number. They build fluency with the steps of divide, multiply, subtract, bring down, and check.
The printable activities include focused division problems that move children from careful written working to quicker, more confident calculation. Children can use the pages for revision, extra maths practice, or short drill sessions at home or in class.
In this Long Division 2X1 Digit collection, children work with 2-digit dividends and 1-digit divisors, such as 48 ÷ 3 or 75 ÷ 6. The focus is not just getting the answer, but showing the long division method clearly: estimate how many groups fit, multiply back, subtract, and continue with the next digit.
How the skill progresses
Children first need secure times tables and subtraction facts. Once they can connect division with multiplication, long division becomes more logical. Some sums divide evenly, while others may leave a remainder. This helps children understand quotient, divisor, dividend, remainder, and the idea that a remainder must always be smaller than the divisor.
Parent routine for home practice
Choose one worksheet and ask your child to solve the first two sums slowly while saying each step aloud. For example: “7 goes into 8 one time, 1 × 7 = 7, subtract to get 1, bring down the next digit.” Then let them complete a small set independently. End by checking one answer using multiplication: quotient × divisor, plus the remainder if there is one.
Classroom use for teachers
Teachers can use these pages as morning maths drills, remedial practice after a division lesson, homework, or quick assessment. They also work well in small groups: one child solves, one checks the multiplication step, and one watches the subtraction. This makes errors visible before they become habits.
Common errors to watch for
Children may forget to bring down the second digit, subtract incorrectly, or write a remainder that is equal to or greater than the divisor. Some may guess quotients without using tables. Encourage neat place value alignment, one digit per step, and a quick reasonableness check after every problem.

Why iBloom worksheets help
iBloom worksheets keep the practice focused on one exact skill: 2-digit by 1-digit long division. The clear drill format gives children enough repetition to build accuracy while still leaving space to show working. A child-friendly strategy is: “Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down, then check.” Repeating this rhythm helps long division feel organised instead of confusing.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does 2X1 digit long division mean?
It means dividing a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number, such as 84 ÷ 4 or 67 ÷ 5, using the written long division method.
Do these worksheets include remainders?
The practice may include problems where the division is exact and problems where a remainder is left. Children should learn that the remainder must be smaller than the divisor.
What should my child know before starting these worksheets?
Children should be comfortable with basic multiplication tables, subtraction, and the meaning of division as sharing or grouping.
How can children check a long division answer?
They can multiply the quotient by the divisor. If there is a remainder, they add it to that product. The result should match the original dividend.
Why does my child keep making mistakes in long division?
Common causes are weak times table recall, missed subtraction steps, untidy alignment, or forgetting to bring down the next digit. Slowing down and saying each step aloud often helps.
Is this long division 2x1 digit worksheet free?
Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
