Step-by-step solution for: Grade 3 Division Worksheets | Free Printables | Math Worksheets
Let’s solve each short division problem step by step. We’ll divide the big number (dividend) by the small number (divisor) and write the answer (quotient). If there’s a remainder, we’ll note it — but in these problems, most will divide evenly.

1. 6 ) 126
- 6 goes into 12 two times → write 2 above the 2.
- 2 × 6 = 12 → subtract from 12 → 0.
- Bring down the 6.
- 6 goes into 6 one time → write 1 above the 6.
- 1 × 6 = 6 → subtract → 0.
✔ Answer: 21

12. 5 ) 405
- 5 goes into 4 zero times → write 0 above 4? Wait — actually, we start with how many times 5 goes into 40 (first two digits).
Better way:
- 5 goes into 40 eight times → write 8 above 0 (tens place).
- 8 × 5 = 40 → subtract → 0.
- Bring down 5.
- 5 goes into 5 one time → write 1 above 5.
- 1 × 5 = 5 → subtract → 0.
✔ Answer: 81
Wait — let me double-check that last one:
Actually, for 5 ) 405:
Start from left:
- 5 doesn’t go into 4 → so look at 40.
- 5 × 8 = 40 → write 8 above the 0 (which is the tens digit).
- Subtract 40 → 0.
- Bring down 5 → 5.
- 5 × 1 = 5 → write 1 above the 5.
→ So quotient is 81. Yes, correct.
But wait — 81 × 5 = 405? Let’s check:
80 × 5 = 400, plus 1 × 5 = 5 → total 405. ✔ Correct.
