Class 4 Maths Multiplication and Long Division Worksheet
Class 4 Maths · Multiplication and long division · 58 questions with answers
Long division is the hardest thing in primary maths, and it is worth saying so rather than pretending otherwise. It is the first procedure a child has to hold four steps of in their head at once - divide, multiply, subtract, bring down - while also knowing their tables. The worked examples here go through every step rather than showing the finished answer, because a half-remembered algorithm is worse than none.
- Multiply a three-digit number by a one-digit number, and two-digit by two-digit.
- Divide using long division, with and without a remainder.
- Check a division answer by multiplying back.

234 × 3: work right to left. 4 × 3 = 12, write 2 and carry 1 ten. 3 × 3 = 9, plus the carried 1 = 10, write 0 and carry 1 hundred. 2 × 3 = 6, plus 1 = 7. Answer 702. Say what you are carrying - one ten, one hundred - rather than 'carry the one'.

23 × 14: split the 14 into 10 and 4. 23 × 10 = 230, and 23 × 4 = 92. Add: 230 + 92 = 322. This is exactly what the two-line column method does - doing it openly first makes the column version make sense rather than being a ritual.

97 ÷ 4: how many 4s in 9? Two, and 2 × 4 = 8, leaving 1. Bring down the 7 to make 17. How many 4s in 17? Four, and 4 × 4 = 16, leaving 1. So 24 remainder 1. Check it: 24 × 4 = 96, plus the remainder 1 = 97. Always check this way - it catches almost every error.

While your child works
- Long division is genuinely the hardest thing in primary maths. If it is not clicking, that is normal - and it is worth checking tables first, because a child who is slow on tables cannot possibly hold the division steps together.
- Teach checking by multiplying back. 24 remainder 1, checked as 24 × 4 + 1 = 97, catches almost every error and gives a child a way to know they are right without asking.
- Say the four steps aloud in order - divide, multiply, subtract, bring down - until they are automatic. Most long-division errors are a skipped step rather than a wrong calculation.
