Step-by-step solution for: Division Worksheets | Printable Division Worksheets for Teachers
Let’s solve each division problem step by step. We’ll divide the number inside the bracket (the dividend) by the number outside (the divisor). Since these are decimals, we can think of them as money or just move the decimal point if needed — but here, we’ll do straight long division with decimals.
---
1. 2 ) 3.74
- 2 goes into 3 one time → write 1 above the 3.
- 1 × 2 = 2 → subtract from 3 → remainder 1.
- Bring down the 7 → makes 17.
- 2 goes into 17 eight times → 8 × 2 = 16 → subtract → remainder 1.
- Bring down the 4 → makes 14.
- 2 goes into 14 seven times → 7 × 2 = 14 → subtract → 0.
- Answer: 1.87
---
2. 7 ) 1.96
- 7 doesn’t go into 1 → so we put 0. and look at 19 (tenths place).
- 7 goes into 19 two times → 2 × 7 = 14 → subtract → 5.
- Bring down 6 → makes 56.
- 7 goes into 56 eight times → 8 × 7 = 56 → subtract → 0.
- Answer: 0.28
---
3. 7 ) 8.33
- 7 goes into 8 one time → 1 × 7 = 7 → subtract → 1.
- Bring down 3 → makes 13.
- 7 goes into 13 one time → 1 × 7 = 7 → subtract → 6.
- Bring down 3 → makes 63.
- 7 goes into 63 nine times → 9 × 7 = 63 → subtract → 0.
- Answer: 1.19
---
4. 4 ) 5.00
- 4 goes into 5 one time → 1 × 4 = 4 → subtract → 1.
- Bring down 0 → makes 10.
- 4 goes into 10 two times → 2 × 4 = 8 → subtract → 2.
- Bring down 0 → makes 20.
- 4 goes into 20 five times → 5 × 4 = 20 → subtract → 0.
- Answer: 1.25
---
5. 5 ) 2.00
- 5 doesn’t go into 2 → so 0. then look at 20 (tenths).
- 5 goes into 20 four times → 4 × 5 = 20 → subtract → 0.
- Bring down next 0 → still 0 → 5 goes into 0 zero times.
- Answer: 0.40 or just 0.4
But since it's written as 2.00, we keep two decimal places → 0.40
Actually, in math, 0.4 is same as 0.40, but let’s match format → 0.40
Wait — let’s check:
2.00 ÷ 5 = ?
Think: 200 hundredths ÷ 5 = 40 hundredths → 0.40
Yes → 0.40
---
6. 4 ) 3.80
- 4 doesn’t go into 3 → 0. then 38 tenths.
- 4 goes into 38 nine times → 9 × 4 = 36 → subtract → 2.
- Bring down 0 → makes 20.
- 4 goes into 20 five times → 5 × 4 = 20 → subtract → 0.
- Answer: 0.95
---
7. 3 ) 4.38
- 3 goes into 4 one time → 1 × 3 = 3 → subtract → 1.
- Bring down 3 → makes 13.
- 3 goes into 13 four times → 4 × 3 = 12 → subtract → 1.
- Bring down 8 → makes 18.
- 3 goes into 18 six times → 6 × 3 = 18 → subtract → 0.
- Answer: 1.46
---
8. 2 ) 6.86
- 2 goes into 6 three times → 3 × 2 = 6 → subtract → 0.
- Bring down 8 → 8 ÷ 2 = 4 → write 4.
- Bring down 6 → 6 ÷ 2 = 3 → write 3.
- Answer: 3.43
---
9. 8 ) 1.92
- 8 doesn’t go into 1 → 0. then 19 tenths.
- 8 goes into 19 two times → 2 × 8 = 16 → subtract → 3.
- Bring down 2 → makes 32.
- 8 goes into 32 four times → 4 × 8 = 32 → subtract → 0.
- Answer: 0.24
---
10. 8 ) 2.52
- 8 doesn’t go into 2 → 0. then 25 tenths.
- 8 goes into 25 three times → 3 × 8 = 24 → subtract → 1.
- Bring down 2 → makes 12.
- 8 goes into 12 one time → 1 × 8 = 8 → subtract → 4.
- Add a 0? Wait — original is 2.52, so after 2 comes 5 and 2 — that’s all.
Wait — 2.52 has two decimal places. After bringing down 2, we have 12 (hundredths).
We did: 25 - 24 = 1 → bring down 2 → 12.
8 into 12 is 1 → 1×8=8 → remainder 4.
Now, to continue, we add a 0 → 40 thousandths.
8 into 40 is 5 → 5×8=40 → done.
So answer is 0.315? But wait — let’s check:
Actually, 2.52 ÷ 8:
Do it as fractions: 252/100 ÷ 8 = 252/(100×8) = 252/800 = simplify.
Divide numerator and denominator by 4: 63/200 = 0.315
But looking back at the problem — it says “solve each division problem” — and others ended evenly except this?
Wait — maybe I made a mistake.
Let me redo:
8 ) 2.52
Step-by-step:
- 8 into 2 → 0. → so first digit after decimal.
- Look at 25 (tenths): 8×3=24 → subtract → 1.
- Bring down 2 → 12 (hundredths).
- 8 into 12 → 1 → 8×1=8 → subtract → 4.
- Now, since no more digits, but we have remainder 4, we add a 0 → 40 (thousandths).
- 8 into 40 → 5 → 5×8=40 → done.
So answer is 0.315
But other problems had only two decimal places in answer? Let’s check the pattern.
Looking at previous answers:
All others gave exact two-decimal answers except possibly this one.
Wait — 2.52 ÷ 8:
Calculate: 8 × 0.315 = 2.52 → yes, correct.
But perhaps the worksheet expects rounding? Or maybe I should leave it as 0.315?
Wait — let’s see the last few:
11. 9 ) 4.05
- 9 into 4 → 0. → 40 tenths.
- 9×4=36 → subtract → 4.
- Bring down 5 → 45.
- 9×5=45 → done.
- Answer: 0.45
12. 5 ) 9.55
- 5 into 9 → 1 → 5×1=5 → subtract → 4.
- Bring down 5 → 45.
- 5×9=45 → subtract → 0.
- Bring down 5 → 5.
- 5×1=5 → done.
- Answer: 1.91
Back to #10: 8 ) 2.52 → must be 0.315
But let’s double-check with multiplication:
0.315 × 8 = ?
0.3 × 8 = 2.4
0.015 × 8 = 0.12
Total: 2.4 + 0.12 = 2.52 → correct.
So answer is 0.315
But wait — in the context of the worksheet, all other answers are to two decimal places? Let’s list them again:
1. 1.87
2. 0.28
3. 1.19
4. 1.25
5. 0.40
6. 0.95
7. 1.46
8. 3.43
9. 0.24
10. ???
11. 0.45
12. 1.91
Only #10 gives three decimals. Maybe it’s acceptable? Or perhaps I misread the problem.
Wait — the problem is written as "8)2.52" — which means 2.52 divided by 8.
Perhaps they expect us to stop at two decimals? But that would be inaccurate.
Alternatively, maybe it’s 2.52 ÷ 8 = 0.315, and we write it as is.
I think we should give the exact answer.
Similarly, for consistency, let’s confirm all:
Actually, let’s recalculate #10 carefully:
Long division:
0.315
________
8 | 2.520
-0
----
25
-24 (8×3)
----
12
-8 (8×1)
----
40
-40 (8×5)
----
0
Yes, so 0.315
Okay, we’ll go with that.
Now, compiling all answers:
1. 3.74 ÷ 2 = 1.87
2. 1.96 ÷ 7 = 0.28
3. 8.33 ÷ 7 = 1.19
4. 5.00 ÷ 4 = 1.25
5. 2.00 ÷ 5 = 0.40
6. 3.80 ÷ 4 = 0.95
7. 4.38 ÷ 3 = 1.46
8. 6.86 ÷ 2 = 3.43
9. 1.92 ÷ 8 = 0.24
10. 2.52 ÷ 8 = 0.315
11. 4.05 ÷ 9 = 0.45
12. 9.55 ÷ 5 = 1.91
Wait — #10 is the only one with three decimals. Is there a mistake?
Let me check #10 again: 2.52 ÷ 8.
Another way: 2.52 / 8 = 252 / 800 = 63 / 200 = 0.315 — yes.
Perhaps the worksheet allows it. Or maybe I should write it as 0.32 if rounded? But the instruction is to solve accurately.
Looking at the other problems, none required rounding — all divided evenly except this one? Actually, #10 does divide evenly if we go to three decimals.
I think it’s fine.
