Multi-Digit Split Computation

This worksheet is designed to help students in Grades 5 and 6 build confidence and accuracy with long division involving very large multi-digit dividends and single-digit divisors. Students apply the standard division algorithm step by step, strengthening place value understanding, estimation skills, and verification strategies as they work through extended division tasks.

Skills Reinforced

• Long Division with Multi-Digit Numbers (Grades 5-6)
  Accurately divide large dividends by single-digit divisors using the standard algorithm.
• Place Value Across Large Numbers
  Interpret and manage values across thousands, ten-thousands, and beyond.
• Estimating and Interpreting Quotients
  Make reasonable estimates to guide each step of the division process.
• Verification Using Multiplication
  Check answers by multiplying the quotient by the divisor and considering remainders.
• Computational Fluency and Accuracy
  Develop efficiency and precision with extended, multi-step calculations.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource
  Designed to support upper-elementary division standards and skill progression.
• Challenging, Varied Problem Set
  Encourages flexible thinking with a wide range of large numbers.
• Emphasis on Reasoning, Not Just Procedure
  Reinforces why each step of the algorithm works.
• Flexible Use
  Ideal for independent practice, guided instruction, intervention, review, test prep, or homeschool lessons.

This printable worksheet provides rigorous practice with long division, helping students strengthen fluency and confidence when working with large numbers. By estimating quotients, managing place value across multiple periods, and verifying results through multiplication, learners deepen both procedural skill and conceptual understanding. The structured practice prepares students for advanced arithmetic, problem solving, and algebraic reasoning that depend on strong division foundations.
