What is division?
Division means sharing equally or making equal groups. The number we divide is the dividend, the number we divide by is the divisor, the answer is the quotient and anything left over is the remainder. In 852 ÷ 6 = 142, the quotient is 142.
Think of division like a train 🚂 with equal carriages. If 96 children board 4 carriages equally, each carriage gets 96 ÷ 4 = 24 children!
Kinds of division sums
| Kind | Example | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 🔄 Using tables | 72 ÷ 8 | 9 |
| 🧱 Long division | 852 ÷ 6 | 142 |
| ➕ With a remainder | 47 ÷ 5 | 9 R 2 |
| 0️⃣ Zero in the quotient | 2,448 ÷ 8 | 306 |
| 🔟 By 10 | 360 ÷ 10 | 36 |
How to do long division
- Divide the first digit (or first two digits) by the divisor.
- Multiply the quotient digit by the divisor.
- Subtract to find what is left.
- Bring down the next digit and repeat.

Maths Division Class 4
Division means sharing a number equally into groups, or finding how many equal groups we can make. In Class 4, children divide 2-digit, 3-digit and 4-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers using long division, find the remainder, divide by 10 and 100, learn the rules of division and check answers by multiplying. They also solve word problems about sharing and grouping. This guide explains each idea in simple language for Class 4 students, parents and teachers. It goes with the Division worksheet for Class 4 on WitKnowLearn, which also gives an online quiz, online activities and interactive games on the same page.

How to do long division
| Step | Example: 852 ÷ 6 |
|---|---|
| 1. Hundreds | 8 ÷ 6 = 1, remainder 2 |
| 2. Tens | Bring down 5 to make 25. 25 ÷ 6 = 4, remainder 1 |
| 3. Ones | Bring down 2 to make 12. 12 ÷ 6 = 2, remainder 0 |
| Answer | 142 |
Rules of division
| Rule | Example |
|---|---|
| A number ÷ 1 = the same number | 37 ÷ 1 = 37 |
| A number ÷ itself = 1 | 25 ÷ 25 = 1 |
| 0 ÷ a number = 0 | 0 ÷ 8 = 0 |
| We cannot divide by 0 | 8 ÷ 0 has no answer |
| Check | quotient × divisor + remainder = dividend |
Types of questions
- Long division
- Find the quotient and remainder
- Fill in using the rules

Common mistakes
| Mistake | Correct |
|---|---|
| Starting from the ones place | Long division starts from the biggest place on the left. |
| Remainder bigger than the divisor | The remainder must always be smaller than the divisor. |
| Forgetting a 0 in the quotient | If the divisor does not fit, write 0 (2,448 ÷ 8 = 306). |
| Not checking the answer | Multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder. |
Daily life
We divide every day: sharing sweets among friends, splitting a bill, packing things into boxes, finding how many weeks are in some days, or working out how many buses a school trip needs.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Revise times tables up to 10; they make division quick.
- Share real objects like beads or coins into equal groups.
- Practise the steps Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Bring down.
- Always ask the child to check the answer by multiplying.
- Let the child retry the challenges to earn 3 stars.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is division in Class 4 maths?
Division means sharing a number equally into groups, or finding how many equal groups we can make. In Class 4, children divide large numbers by 1-digit numbers using long division.
What are dividend, divisor, quotient and remainder?
In 17 ÷ 5 = 3 R 2, 17 is the dividend (the number divided), 5 is the divisor (the number we divide by), 3 is the quotient (the answer) and 2 is the remainder (what is left over).
How do we do long division?
Start from the biggest place on the left. Divide, multiply, subtract and bring down the next digit. Repeat until no digits are left.
How are multiplication and division related?
Division is the reverse of multiplication. Since 6 × 7 = 42, we know 42 ÷ 6 = 7 and 42 ÷ 7 = 6.
How do we check a division answer?
Multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder. If you get the dividend, the answer is right. For 852 ÷ 6 = 142, check 142 × 6 = 852.
Can the remainder be bigger than the divisor?
No. The remainder must always be smaller than the divisor. If it is not, divide once more.
What are the rules of division?
Any number ÷ 1 is the same number, any number ÷ itself is 1, 0 ÷ any number is 0, and we cannot divide by 0.
Does this page have Division Class 4 questions and answers?
Yes. The 20-question Division Class 4 online quiz shows the correct answer and a reason for every question at the end, and the practice sheet has a Show answers button for all 16 questions.
