Step-by-step solution for: Grade 4 Division Worksheets | Free Printables | Math Worksheets
Let’s solve each short division problem step by step. We’ll go one at a time, checking our work as we go.
---
1. 336 ÷ 8
- 8 goes into 33 four times (8 × 4 = 32). Write down 4.
- Subtract: 33 - 32 = 1. Bring down the 6 → 16.
- 8 goes into 16 two times (8 × 2 = 16). Write down 2.
- Answer: 42
✔ Check: 8 × 42 = 336 ✔️
---
2. 264 ÷ 6
- 6 goes into 26 four times (6 × 4 = 24). Write down 4.

- Answer: 44
✔ Check: 6 × 44 = 264 ✔️
---
3. 828 ÷ 9
- 9 goes into 82 nine times (9 × 9 = 81). Write down 9.
- Subtract: 82 - 81 = 1. Bring down the 8 → 18.
- 9 goes into 18 two times (9 × 2 = 18). Write down 2.
- Answer: 92
✔ Check: 9 × 92 = 828 ✔️
---
4. 644 ÷ 7
- 7 goes into 64 nine times (7 × 9 = 63). Write down 9.
- Subtract: 64 - 63 = 1. Bring down the 4 → 14.
- 7 goes into 14 two times (7 × 2 = 14). Write down 2.
- Answer: 92
✔ Check: 7 × 92 = 644 ✔️
---
5. 297 ÷ 9
- 9 goes into 29 three times (9 × 3 = 27). Write down 3.
- Subtract: 29 - 27 = 2. Bring down the 7 → 27.
- 9 goes into 27 three times (9 × 3 = 27). Write down 3.
- Answer: 33
✔ Check: 9 × 33 = 297 ✔️
---
6. 592 ÷ 8
- 8 goes into 59 seven times (8 × 7 = 56). Write down 7.
- Subtract: 59 - 56 = 3. Bring down the 2 → 32.
- 8 goes into 32 four times (8 × 4 = 32). Write down 4.
- Answer: 74
✔ Check: 8 × 74 = 592 ✔️
---
7. 296 ÷ 5
- 5 goes into 29 five times (5 × 5 = 25). Write down 5.
- Subtract: 29 - 25 = 4. Bring down the 6 → 46.
- 5 goes into 46 nine times (5 × 9 = 45). Write down 9.
- Remainder: 46 - 45 = 1 → So answer is 59 R1
But since this is “short division” and no remainder instruction, let’s check if it divides evenly — it doesn’t. But maybe they want decimal? Or just quotient with remainder?
Looking at other problems — all others divide evenly except possibly this one. Let’s double-check:
Wait — 5 × 59 = 295, so 296 - 295 = 1 → yes, remainder 1.
But in many school worksheets, if it doesn’t divide evenly, they might expect you to write the remainder or stop at whole number. Since others are exact, perhaps I made a mistake?
Wait — 296 ÷ 5:
Actually, 5 × 59 = 295 → remainder 1. So unless specified, we can write 59 R1, but let’s see if the worksheet expects decimals? Probably not for short division at this level.
Hold on — maybe I misread? No, 296 ÷ 5 is indeed 59 with remainder 1.
But looking back at problem 10: 529 ÷ 8 — that also won’t be even. Let’s do them all first and see pattern.
Actually, let’s continue and come back.
For now, I’ll note: 59 R1
But wait — let me recalculate:
5 into 29 → 5×5=25, subtract → 4, bring down 6 → 46.
5 into 46 → 9×5=45, subtract → 1. Yes.
So answer: 59 R1
But maybe the worksheet expects only whole numbers? Let’s keep going.

8. 365 ÷ 7
- 7 into 36 → 5 times (7×5=35), subtract → 1, bring down 5 → 15.
- 7 into 15 → 2 times (7×2=14), subtract → 1.
- Answer: 52 R1
Check: 7×52 = 364, +1 = 365 ✔️
---
9. 294 ÷ 4
- 4 into 29 → 7 times (4×7=28), subtract → 1, bring down 4 → 14.
- 4 into 14 → 3 times (4×3=12), subtract → 2.
- Answer: 73 R2
Check: 4×73 = 292, +2 = 294 ✔️
---
10. 529 ÷ 8
- 8 into 52 → 6 times (8×6=48), subtract → 4, bring down 9 → 49.
- 8 into 49 → 6 times (8×6=48), subtract → 1.
- Answer: 66 R1
Check: 8×66 = 528, +1 = 529 ✔️
---
11. 435 ÷ 6

Check: 6×72 = 432, +3 = 435 ✔️
---

- 7 into 8 → 1 time (7×1=7), subtract → 1.
- Answer: 81 R1
Check: 7×81 = 567, +1 = 568 ✔️
---
Now, looking back — problems 7 through 12 all have remainders. That’s fine! Short division often includes remainders.
But let me double-check problem 7: 296 ÷ 5.
Is there a chance I misread? 296 ÷ 5:
5 × 59 = 295 → remainder 1 → correct.
Similarly, others are correct.
So final answers:
1. 42
2. 44
3. 92
4. 92
5. 33
6. 74
7. 59 R1
8. 52 R1
9. 73 R2
10. 66 R1
11. 72 R3
12. 81 R1
But wait — let me check if any of these were supposed to be exact. For example, problem 7: 296 ÷ 5 — maybe it's 295? No, image says 296.
Perhaps the worksheet allows remainders. In fact, most of the later ones do.
Alternatively, maybe I should express as mixed numbers or decimals? But the title is "Short Division" and typically at this level, remainders are written as "R".
Since the user didn't specify, and the problems include non-divisible numbers, I'll present answers with remainders where needed.
Final Answer:
1. 42
2. 44
3. 92
4. 92
5. 33
6. 74
7. 59 R1
8. 52 R1
9. 73 R2
10. 66 R1
